Despite regular disasters, including cyclones and frequent episodes of serious flooding that have resulted in huge losses of life and property, water security and water resource management has historically been neglected and overlooked in this country. But on June 23-28 in Yangon, academics, officials, experts and international guests oversaw the graduation of Myanmar’s first fifteen Ayeyarwady Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) fellows who presented their research and work after 10 months of mentorship.
