National Water Resources BoardInstitutional Structure in the Water Sector
➢Numerous NGAs/institutions working on water resources management
➢Lack of coherence in assigning water related functions and accountabilities to national government agencies
➢Unclear linkages among water-related national government agencies, and between various levels of government
➢Perceived overlapping and unclear mandates and accountabilities relative to water resource
National Water Resources Board

Climate Variability Issues
National Water Resources BoardChallenges➢Inadequate water infrastructure facilities➢Depletion of water availability and quality
o Rapid urbanization and industrializationo Indiscriminate land use and developmento Increasing volume of solid wastes, pollutants and
hazardous wasteso Unabated extraction of groundwatero Inadequate Sewerage and Sanitation facilitieso Watershed degradation
➢ Water Management Issues:( more than 30o Fragmentation of water agencies
agencies )o Governance issueso Lack of science-based data and information for
effective planning and decision making
National Water Resources BoardOpportunities forPRIVATE INVESTORS
