No results found.The Integrated Programme for Sustainable Water Resources Management in the Urmia Lake Basin brochure presents the key achievements of the project in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This project is a collaboration between FAO and the Urmia Lake Restoration Program (ULRP) with a granted fund of the People of Japan to provide tools for drought management, water accounting, strengthening the capacity development of stakeholders at different scales (from the policy level to the farm level) and contribute to the development of a socio-economic livelihood programme. The project proposed sustainable solutions to alternative income-generating activities while reducing the water consumption in the agriculture sector of the Urmia Lake basin significantly. -

Also available in:
No results found.The Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing a severe escalation of water scarcity, due to key drivers such as demographic growth, the tendency to increase food self-sufficiency, urbanization expansion, energy demand, and overall socio-economic development. This is further compounded by the negative impacts of climate change and the considerable degradation of water quality. In this context, Urmia Lake Basin (ULB), a vast hypersaline lake in the northwest of the country, has faced intense pressures over the last three decades and is in a state of ecological crisis, with major impacts on its biodiversity and socio-economic conditions. Since 2013, the Government has made an intensive and comprehensive effort to restore Urmia Lake; however, the condition of the lake was still critical and more support was required. Against this background, this project, funded by the Government of Japan, aimed to contribute to more sustainable, productive and climate-resilient agricultural and rural systems, with a positive impact on the environment and on the water balance (inflow-outflow) of Urmia Lake.

Scaling up capacities for responsible governance of water tenure in support of food security, climate resilience and social inclusion (SCALEWAT) Bangkok, Thailand, 29–31 October 2024
2025Also available in:
No results found.As global water demand is projected to increase along with the number of people living in areas of high water stress, the allocation of water resources is increasingly critical. In the Asia-Pacific region, the agricultural sector, in particular, faces growing competition over water resources from other sectors to support rapid population and economic growth, and climate change has compounded this pressure. To address these challenges, FAO launched "Scaling up capacities for responsible governance of water tenure (ScaleWat)" in Thailand and Colombia to promote equitable and sustainable water allocation by strengthening water monitoring and improving access to accurate information on water resources. This report summarizes the key points from the National Project Launch and Inception Workshop for the ScaleWat project in Thailand, held in October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop featured a training on the water tenure assessment methodology and was attended by ScaleWat government partner, the Office of the National Water Reosurces (ONWR), as well as representatives from other government agencies, farmer organizations, and civil society engaged in water management in Thailand. -
