Activities Year: 2002

First Regional Consultative meeting was planned, and held in Kathmandu on 27-28 July. Nine participants from Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and 10 from Nepal attended the meeting and presented their country status paper. Many legal issues connected to Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) were discussed. It was found that the countries of the region are at various stages of the evolution of the new legal regime of water management and as such, it was felt that the establishment of the Network was very opportune and the participants gained from the experiences of the respective countries. It was also noted that the countries have their long written and unwritten norms, traditions and legal regimes. However, there was a need to update and improve upon these norms and regimes to suit to the new approach of IWRM.

The finalized version of status paper is expected by the end of October.
