Water Use and Date Environment in Southeast Asia and the Pacific

对东南亚和太平洋地区可持续和良好的水资源环境进行了研究。主要研究内容如下：(1)来自东南和太平洋地区的研究人员对代表性流域进行了调查，调查了各国的自然社会条件和水资源利用情况。还调查了水文气象、水的需求/使用和社会经济数据的存在、格式、质量和可得性，以及在每个国家建立数据库管理系统的准备情况。在泰国和老挝（1997年12月）、澳大利亚和新西兰（1998年3月）以及马来西亚和印度尼西亚（1998年3月）的会议和实地考察中，澄清了重要水问题的相似和不同之处。(2)收集了上述国家的水文和水资源数据。研究人员就如何收集各国水文水资源数据进行了技术讨论，并提出了数据库管理系统的设计、通用的数据格式。(3)此外，根据调查、信息交流、收集的数据和讨论的结果，举办了关于建立水档案和水文水资源比较研究的讲习班，以期对今后的研究有一个明确的认识。

Studies have been carried out for the sustainable and sound water resources environment in Southeast Asia and Pacific region.The studies are as follows : (1) Many researchers gathered from Southeast and the pacific region surveyed the representative basins to investigate natural and social conditions and water use in the countries. Also investigated are : the exsistence of hydro-meteorological, water demand/use and socio-economical data, their format, quality and accessibility and as well as preparedness for establishment of database management systems in each country. The similarity and difference of the important water issues are clarified through meetings and site visitings in : Thailand and Lao (December 1997), Australia and New Zealand (March 1998) and Malaysia and Indonesia (March 1998).(2) The data regarding hydrology and water resources in the above mentioned countries has been collected. The researchers held technical discussion on how to collect the data regarding hydrology and water resuources in the countries and proposed the design of database management system, data format for common use.(3) In addition, based on the results of surveys, information exchange, collected data and discussions, a workshop regarding establishment of water archive and comparative studies on hydrology and water resources has been held in order to obtain the clear vision for future research.
