Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation in Central Asia
A new EDB study provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of drinking water supply and sanitation infrastructure in Central Asia. It estimates the amount of investment needed to meet the SDGs by 2030 and formulates a comprehensive approach to provide safe drinking water and access to sanitation. Almost 10 million people in the region do not have access to safe drinking water. From 1994 to 2020, the volume of water withdrawal for municipal and domestic needs increased by 100%. However, investments in drinking water supply infrastructure were inadequate to this growth. To meet the challenges in 2025-2030, the sector needs an additional $2 billion of investment annually. 28 June 2024 -
