Statistics: SDG 6 Progress in Asia-Pacific

• SDG 6.1: 94% population have access to improved clean drinking water (2015)

• SDG 6.2: 65% population use improved sanitation facilities (2015)

• SDG 6.3: 70-90% wastewater is untreated in some countries (2011-2012); Singapore is the only country that achieves 100% treated wastewater (2013)

• SDG 6.4: 13% total freshwater withdrawals on average in the upper middle income economies; no data in low and lower middle economies (2005)

• SDG 6.5: Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) Indicators are well utilized in some countries, such as Japan and Singapore. Project-based examples: Mekong River and Aral Sea Basin management

Conceptual Framework of Key Factors Affecting Implementation of Water-Related SDGs

Investing In the Water Cycle3. Long-term recovery/recycle

Precipitation –water acquisition

Freshwater Savings & Storage in healthy ecosystems and

human infrastructure

Disposal oftreated wastewater

for downstream users

Recycled Water

Efficient UrbanWater Use

2. Medium Water-Cycle Loop

Surface Water& Groundwater

Distribution

WastewaterTreatment

Financing to Mimic the Water Cycle

Water Trading using advanced Remote Sensing Services :Efficient water allocation as market based price acts as an incentive for users to allocate resources from low value activities to high value activities and increasing demand, depending on the historical, political, legal, and economic context of a community, entitlements sharing and tradable ownership.

Dhaka Water Supply Network:• improve the service delivery and the capacity, sustainable

nonrevenue water reduction strategy, improved monitoring, and increased in-house capacity for DMA management;

• Introduction of technologies for DMA management, including use of supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system,

CO2 Reduction Potential in Viet Nam due to water efficient infrastructure the development of water infrastructure, and envisioning a society in which water saving equipment's with the latest high-efficiency flush toilet bowls and showers are installed measuring water / time of usage, temperature and electricity consumption of pumps, A CO2 reduction potential of approximately 16,000 tCO2/year is expected and use of MRV methodology.

Smart City Concept: • Installation of E-Toilets, automated/ self-cleaning

toilets having remote monitoring, tracking of the water quality facility and advanced leak detection.

• Remote Waste water recycling and SCADA, ‘smart metering’.

• Water ATMs for communities with 24/7 safe water access.

• Solid Waste Management – RFID tracking of vehicles, Bio-methanation, Waste to-energy, decentralized waste processing

1.Johkasou: DEWATS offering primarysecondary and tertiary treatment fordomestic wastewater of individual housesensuring effective BOD levels of below 20mg/l. eliminating pathogens.With capacity of 5 to 5000 people.

2.Wastewater Reuse: the treatedwastewater is further treated at the SaitamaShintoshin Purification Plant using acombination of bio filtration and ozonizationprocesses with separate piping system forwater supply and treated wastewater saving250,000 cubic meters (m3) of freshwateryearly, amounting to ¥104 million(approximately $939,000)

Meeting the Wastewater Challenge in the People’s Republic of China: The government with the ADB, private companies and communities to find innovative and cost-effective ways to turn wastewater into clean, usable water. The Xiajin Wastewater Treatment Plant processes 600 million tons of wastewater each year.

CASE STUDIES ON IMPACTFUL INVESTMENTS IN WATER EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURES

Regional Policy: Lessons Learned

Attract impactful investments and ensure collaborative partnerships

Enable regulated market opportunitiesfor natural capital

Implement smart budget appraisals

Implement declining operational subsidies for wastewater management

Ref: analytical products of ESCAP

A focus on countries with special needs (CSN) in two phases:

Collaborative Actionable Strategies

Action 1: capacity building of networks

Action 2: implementation of financing schemes

in pilot cities

QUESTIONS TO THE SESSION

• Regional Programme on SDG 6 Strategies?– Who could initiate and lead the startups at city levels?

• Partnership of Govt with Investors for impact investment schemes?– Who should initiate the pilot programme and calculate impact in

3D ?– Another proposal: we need to ensure on the water accounting

to align statistics at city and national levels

• Integrated Monitoring of Water-Related SDGs: what role do you expect from ESCAP?– How can we empower the regional coordination mechanisms

(RCM) in providing directions to UN-Water and empower APWF, NARBO and other network of practitioners?
