ADB, Climate Change and Water Security in South Asia, by Arnaud Cauchois
1. ADB, Climate Change and
Water Security in South Asia
Arnaud Cauchois
Senior Water Resources Specialist
South Asia Regional Department, ADB
GWP Regional Workshop on Climate Change, Food and Water Security
Colombo, Sri Lanka
24-25 February 2011
2. Key Message
Asia and particularly South Asia with its large
population and limited water resources is at
particular risk from climate impacts, especially its
water and agriculture sectors.
Water management will be drastically affected
by our changing climate, but adapting – while
requiring innovation and new approaches – will draw
upon and reinforce best practices of the water
profession.
South Asian countries are beginning to respond,
with policy dialogue, funding and technical
support – more is coming soon.
6. ADB’s Climate Change Program
Modalities:
Finance Knowledge Partnership
Priorities:
1. Scaling-Up Clean Energy
2. Encouraging Sustainable Transport, Urban Development
3. Managing Land Use and Forests for Carbon Sequestration
4. Promoting Climate-Resilient Development
5. Strengthening Policies, Governance and Capacities
7. Climate Change Priority Concerns in South Asia:
Water Resources
• Supply-Demand: growing
imbalances in many regions
• Glacial Retreat: loss of warm
season and drought year
flows
• Groundwater: over-
exploitation in many basins;
climate change impacts on
groundwater recharge
uncertain
• Coastal Aquifers: saline
intrusion from Sea Level
Rise; over-pumping
8. ADB’s Modalities to Address
Water Security
• Convening Power and Regional Dialogue:
Asian Water Development Outlook 2010, Asia-Pacific Water Forum and Summits
– Steering Group on Water and Climate Change, Greater Mekong Subgroup,
Regional Knowledge Hubs, Network of Asian River Basin Organizations, special
conference, etc.
• Grant Technical Assistance – Regional and Country Focused:
For capacity and institutional development, policy and advisory services,
technical and analytical work, and project and program preparation, or blend of
the above
• Financing – Loans and Grants – Infrastructure Focused:
Project lending for water projects, Program loans for policy reform, Climate
Change Trust Fund, Clean Technology Fund, GEF, leverage bilateral grant
financing

Investments and promote adaptation
10. Adaptation in the Water Sector:
Financing Options
Water Finance Program (WFP)
Regional Technical Assistance (RETA)
“Managing Water in Asia’s River Basins”
(TA 6470) – IWRM emphasis
“Enabling Climate Change Responses in
Asia and the Pacific” – capacity building,
disaster risk reduction, water sector
ADB Climate Change Fund (CCF)
Other co-financing
11. Examples: ADB’s Climate Change and
Water Activities in South Asia
TA 43169: India - Support for the National Action
Plan on Climate Change
TA 7326: Sri Lanka - Strengthening Capacity for
Climate Change Adaptation
Regional TA 7547 – “Supporting Investments in
Water Security in River Basins (Indonesia,
Nepal and Uzbekistan)”
Bangladesh - Strengthening the Resilience of
the Khulna Water Sector to Climate Change
Pakistan: Glacial Melt and Downstream Impact
on Indus-Dependent Water Resources and
Energy
12. India: National Action Plan for Climate Change:
Support for the National Water Mission
India MoWR requests ADB assistance in adapting
water sector to climate change
Desired outputs: legislative framework and capacity
at the state level to enact NWM recommendations for
climate change adaptation
Vehicle: Policy and Advisory Technical Assistance
(PATA)
Funding: $750,000 (grant)

14. Bangladesh: Strengthening the Resilience of
the Khulna Water Sector to Climate Change
Bangladesh vulnerable to:
- Flooding
- Drought
- Sea Level Rise
Khulna: 3rd largest - 1.4
million (2007)
Shortage of water supply
(currently relying on shallow
groundwater)
Increased urban flooding
Drainage congestion
Vehicle: PATA
Funding: $600,000 (grant)
