Azië kampt met enkele<br />
van de meest uitdagende<br />
waterproblemen ter wereld . . .<br />
Nergens ter wereld zijn water gerelateerde rampen zo wijdverbreid<br />
en duur als in Azië, waar 83 procent van de stedelijke<br />
bevolking mogelijk getroffen w<strong>or</strong>dt do<strong>or</strong> de zeespiegelstijging.<br />
Ook de smeltende sneeuw in de Himalaya en de verdroging<br />
van stroomgebieden hebben een en<strong>or</strong>me invloed op de<br />
bevolking, de economie en de ecologie van deze regio.<br />
some of the w<strong>or</strong>ld’s most<br />
challenging water issues<br />
are situated in Asia . . .<br />
There is no place in which water-related disasters are as<br />
widespread <strong>and</strong> costly as in Asia, where 83 percent of<br />
the urban population may be affected by sea level rise.<br />
But also melting snow in the Himalayas <strong>and</strong> water basins<br />
that are running dry have a huge impact on this region’s<br />
people, economy, <strong>and</strong> ecology.<br />
