Myanmar

Water Based Economy

• quantify the economic value of water resources

• return on investments in environmental restoration and water-related infrastructure, and the ecosystem benefits and services

Water

• advancing the “Blue Economy” Based

• ensuring that businesses, communities and agriculture are able to leverage the abundant water resources to support strong economies and a high quality of life for residents

Financing

Financing of a sustainable water sector can focus SDGs 2030 Agenda

Can achieve a number of targets

Water

• Growth with equity

• Strategic Framework, Policies and Action Plan

Sector

• Financing Sources: State Budget, Grant, Loans, International Assistance, PPP

Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension I

• Household water security covers

– both drinking water (SDG target 6.1) and

– sanitation (SDG target 6.2),

– both have clear targets (100% coverage by 2030)

Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension II

• Economic Water Security– Asia and the Pacific faces a serious water threat

– Water demand in agriculture, industry, and the domestic sectors will increase by 30%–40% in 2050.

Increasing Water Security: Key Dimension

• Urban Water Security– water systems in the city as source of supply (drinking

water) and threat (flooding) toward a more comprehensive water-sensitive cities approach.

– High infrastructure requirements to improve the wastewater and flooding components of the urban water security dimension


• Environmental Water Security– Index of environmental water security (KD4) quantifies the pressures

on the health of flowing surface waters across the region

(i) the river health index (RHI), the inverse of a metric of threat to water security, that incorporates the potential impacts of many variables that tend to have detrimental impacts on river health;

(ii) flow alteration, which describes the extent to which rivers are changed due to dams, weirs, and direct extractions;

(iii) environmental governance, which expresses the efforts of governments to protect the environment in their country.


• Resilience to Water-Related Disasters – On average, 205 million people were affected by such disasters each

year during that period. Weather-related disasters are becoming increasingly frequent, due to a sustained rise in the number of floods and storms.

– Flooding alone accounts for 47% of all weather-related disasters in 1995–2015, affecting 2.3 billion people, the majority (95%) in Asia. While

Water availability and use in Myanmar

• The prime source of water is the precipitation of rain.

• Three available water sources:

(a) Surface Water

(b) Ground Water or

Underground Water

(a) Rain or Snow

Common Water Usage Patterns

✓Domestic use –Bathing, Washing, Flushing, Cooking, Drinking

✓Garden watering use

✓Fire fighting

✓Industrial use

✓Commercial use

✓Agricultural use

✓Unaccountable or losses

Countries with the lowest level of wastewater treatment in the Asia-Pacific Region

*Estimate. Note: The percentage of wastewater treated is very much dependant on the conditions in the countries’ largest/larger cities, where the percentage is generally higher, and rarely a reliable indicator of conditions in the smaller urban centres of towns and rural areas, for which data are often lacking. Source: Adapted from ADB (2013, Appendix 4, p.100).

Wastewater production and treatment

• Domestic wastewater into the municipalopen drains and pipe system in municipalityareas or/and common effluent treatmentplant.

Which goals does the Government of Myanmar aim to achieve and how does the Government practice

wastewater policies at a national level with the goals?

• Improving River System• Managing waste water• Awareness campaign for the effective and efficient use of water• Improving infrastructure including rural infrastructure• The Institutions: Environmental Conservation Department (ECD) of the

Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC), Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC), Mandalay City Development Committee (MCDC) and Nay Pyi Taw City Development Committee (NCDC)

Water and Sanitation Related Assistances to Myanmar

Statistics is being collected on wastewater related SDGs in Myanmar, what are the

bottlenecks and opportunities?• Statistics being collected from the Institutions: Environmental

Conservation Department (ECD) of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation (MONREC), Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC), Mandalay City Development Committee (MCDC) and Nay Pyi Taw City Development Committee (NCDC)

• Bottlenecks: Resource Allocation, Budget Constraints, Low Technology of Recycling, Raising Awareness to be participated by all the stakeholders, Holistic national water resources policy doesn’t exist

• Opportunities: SDGs, Policy Recommendations to the Higher Authority, International Development Assistance, Political Commitment and Policy Support, To incorporate with the National Plan

• Example: “ Myanmar Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) strategic study” is part of the bilateral IWRM cooperation between Myanmar and the Netherlands.

Issues and Way Forwards• Insufficient environmental related statistics (data

generation)• Lag behind in advanced measuring instrument and

techniques( for quality control and environmental issues)• Existing knowledge and expertise needs to be upgraded(

authorities as well as public)• Awareness on 4 Rs: Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Refuse• Skills, experience and training needs• Little action on water quality monitoring• Inadequate budget, staffs and purification techiques• Integration of National Water Policy into IWRM Strategy• Law enforcement to prevent environmental problem• Implementation of IWRM on the ground• Rural water strategy• PPP: Local service providers
