This presentation examines Myanmar’s water challenges, from pollution and overuse to climate and governance pressures. It links research-based on water issues and community livelihoods with national policy efforts, highlighting the gap between environmental needs and implementation of the 2015 National Water Policy. The talk underlines the importance of integrated, participatory approaches for sustainable water management in Myanmar.
