Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s polluted surface water and falling groundwater levels are placing significant stress on the country’s industries. By 2030, Bangladesh will need 21 percent more water than its available supply during the dry season.
Mongolia
Mongolia is richly endowed with mineral resources. Some of the largest deposits of coal, copper, and gold are found in the South Gobi region. Suf cient water is a prerequisite for Mongolia’s growing mining sector.
South Africa
Sixty percent of South Africa’s water supply is used in the agricultural sector, but 35 percent of this water is lost in the river and canal conveyance system alone.
Peru
When Peru’s water services regulator, SUNASS, was drafting legislation to manage the country’s groundwater resources more sustainably, it approached the 2030 WRG for technical support.

FEATURED COUNTRY
VIETNAM
The Challenge
Vietnam is the 13th most
populous country in the world. Two-thirds of its 86 million people live along the country’s three main river basins–Thai Binh, the Mekong Delta, and Dong Nai.
Vietnam has 2,360 rivers with lengths of more than 10 kilometers, with an abundant supply of water. But a lack of infrastructure and nancial capacity to improve infrastructure means much of this water is not used.
