Synopsis (short abstract) Based on the FAO-ESCAP project to develop 'national water visions' in the Asia-Pacific region that would set out each country's goals for sound water management to meet the needs of all for this vital natural resource over the next two decades. Contains four Southeast Asia case studies (Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam), which were carried out as part of the project and looks at water use in these countries and how they plan to fulfil their water visions.

An outcome of the second phase of a joint FAO-ESCAP pilot project, this document provides the study reports of three countries – Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Myanmar – in their efforts to transform their national water visions to action in the quest for better management of water resources in the region. The process of formulating national water visions serves as a guide for integrated water resources management in all sector activities and at all levels of water resources mana gement. Enhancing awareness and acceptance of the national water vision also facilitates coordination of activities among relevant sectors and management levels. The country studies give an overview of water-related issues (policies, management, challenges) and outline the formulation and achievements of the water vision to action programme. Important findings and recommendations are also provided.

The Office of the Royal Development Projects Board and the Pa Sak River Basin Development Project Committee and its seven Sub-Committees cooperated together in the planning and implementation of the Pa Sak River Basin Development Project. We believe that this project can be considered a model in successfully integrating personnel from government agencies, academic institutions and non-governmental organizations to resolve the many issues encountered in solving problems of implementing developmen t projects. We believe it to contain an experience and an understanding of approach of significance to other countries. This publication is a result of the collective efforts of the Royal Irrigation Department and the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. It is aimed at creating public awareness of the benefits envisaged in the project towards sustainable agricultural development in Thailand.

The Carbon Balance of the World Bank-financed Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Project of the Government of Rwanda: Application of the EX-Ante Carbon-balance tool (EX-ACT)

Agriculture can play an important role in climate change mitigation while contributing to increased food security and reductions in rural poverty. The Ex-Ante Carbon-balance Tool (EX-ACT) can estimate the mitigation potential of rural development projects generated from changes in farming systems and land use. The study presents and discusses the EX-ACT analysis performed on the World Bankfinanced Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation Project of the Government of Rwanda. Estim ates of the impact of project activities on greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration demonstrate that the implementation of the LWH project will provide additional environmental benefits by helping to mitigate climate change. Thus it reflects possible synergies between mitigation and rural development goals through a watershed approach.
