Water security and management discussed at national-level. A national conference on Ecosystem-based Adaptation Approach to Maintaining Water Security was held in Ulaanbaatar. Opening the conference, the Minister of Health reported that two water suppliers and six provincial stakeholders launched the Ecosystem-based Adaptation Approach in 2012 with assistance from the WHO to identify every water pollutant during water provisioning services, assess risks, prevent potential water pollution, and ensure water security. As a result, stakeholders have expanded operations and now, there are 21 water suppliers operating in Ulaanbaatar, 21 in the Gobi region. Research showed that the project has improved drinking water supplies for 1.9 million people in Mongolia. The Minister appreciated the efforts of the involved stakeholders for improving the nation’s water security.
