The WEPA's (Water Environment Partnership in Asia) Outlook has been designed to provide basic information on the status and management of the water environment in each WEPA partner country, and to make this information available to the public in one platform as a source of knowledge to promote good water quality governance in the region. The Outlook, which was first published during the 5th World Water Forum in 2009, may also serve as a useful reference for those who are striving to solve water quality issues in other countries in the world.
