On May 3, 2010, WaterLinks launched its new quarterly e-newsletter. This quarterly newsletter is a collaborative effort between the International Water Association (IWA) and its partners, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the United States Agency for International Development Environmental Cooperation-Asia Program (USAID/ECO-Asia).
As articles in the WaterLinks newsletter are contributed by WaterLinks partners, readers will learn about first-hand experiences on successful WOPs in Asia and the latest news on WaterLinks activities. Each issue of the newsletter will feature a different theme of interest to water operators, starting with Non-Revenue Water Management for this inaugural issue.
For feedback, suggestions or information on how to submit an article for the newsletter, please contact the WaterLinks Secretariat at secretariat@waterlinks.org or +65-6316-9935.
