Water Data Round Table Meeting

At the 10th LMI Ministerial Meeting, LMI Members agreed that improvement of water resources and data management is a priority for the Mekong region. As a next step, and on the sidelines of the 10th Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) and Friends of the Lower Mekong (FLM) Regional Working Group Meeting in Vientiane in November 2017, the United States and the Mekong River Commission co-chaired a meeting on Improving Data for Water Resources Management. Participants engaged in discussions that identified a focus around key challenges and opportunities as well as topics to be explored in follow up discussions. 

The Water Data Round Table, held on the sidelines of the 11th LMI-FLM Regional meeting, was continuation of the dialogue to identify what are the critical data and information service gaps, why we should prioritize addressing.
