Abstract:

The 2018 edition of the Water Yearbook: Central Asia and Around the Globe continues providing a summary of key developments and events of the year. The Yearbook also covers activities of international water organizations and initiatives (in similarlynamed section) and of development partners in Central Asia (“Activity of International Partners in Central Asia”). Section “Water Education” provides a summary of activities undertaken by higher education institutions, professional development centers and trainings over 2018. Here, fragmentation of the organized trainings and lack of structured information and access to learning materials are still very topical. Section “Science and Innovations” was updated with a new subsection - “Online Information Products and Services” – about new databases, knowledge bases and information portals. The information on all continents and major river basins can be found in “Key Water Developments in the World”. As in the previous edition, the 2018 Water Yearbook is finalized by the list of key publications, risks 2019 and the calendar of events for 2019.
