The World Bank is one of the key external financiers in water resources management. Its funding has responded to the need to address both development and management issues by promoting integrated water resources planning and by tackling institutional reforms along with infrastructure upgrades in various sectors. These sectors include contributions to flood management, hydropower, agriculture water management, pollution control, transboundary water management, climate change adaptation and mitigation activities.
