Abstract
"This paper is based on a study of Asia's water sector institutions. The main objective of this regional study was the development of a set of action plans for effective water management institutions in a number of selected Asian countries. The study concluded that there was no single best institutional model to satisfy all situations. Institutional requirements for water management vary depending on a number of environmental conditions, which are mainly determined by the stage of development of the country's water sector. Institutions evolve depending on the water-related issues that the sector faces, as the water resources are gradually developed and utilized. Thus, effective water sector institutions are basically demand driven."
