The residents of the Ganges and Mekong River deltas face serious challenges from rising sea levels, saltwater intrusion, pollution from upstream sources, growing populations, and infrastructure that no longer works as planned. In both deltas, scientists working for nearly two decades with communities, local governments and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have demonstrated the potential to overcome these challenges and substantially improve people’s livelihoods.

The Yellow River Basin (YRB) Focal Project set out to study water poverty, water
availability and access, water productivity, and water and related institutions in the
Yellow River basin to develop and rank a series of high-priority interventions aimed at
increasing water and food security for the poor, while maintaining environmental
sustainability. The YBFP identified complex relations between water and poverty in the
YRB; identified streamflow declines in the basin despite predicted higher rainfall;

This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the
series, to the Indus River basin in South Asia. The Indus Basin covers 3 countries, rises
in the Tibetan plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar in China. Irrigated agriculture
in the Basin is extensive with the construction of dams, barrages, and link canals to
distribute water, with modern engineering to support irrigation starting as early as the
mid 1800s.
Net runoff is about 10% of total precipitation. Irrigated agriculture covers 20% of

This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the series, to the Mekong River basin in Southeast Asia. The Mekong Basin covers six
countries, the River rises in China, but there are substantial downstream tributaries
from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and from a small area in Myanmar. A
unique feature is the reverse flow from the Mekong to the Tonle Sap via the Tonle Sap
River at the height of the wet season flow and its ebb as the river levels fall.

This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the
series, to the Yellow River basin in China. The Yellow River rises in the Bayan Har
Mountains in Qinghai Province in western China, and empties into the Bohai Sea. A
unique feature of the river is the large amount of silt it carries.
Net runoff is about 14% of total precipitation. Forest and woodland cover 9% of the
basin and use about 15% of the precipitation. Grassland covers much of the upper part
