U Htun Lwin Oo, director general of the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River Systems, said the National Water Resources Committee abolished by the last government had been re-formed. The committee will draw up and implement an integrated water management system, and develop a national integrated water management strategy, a national water resources policy, a water framework directive and a water law. It will seek ways to earn revenue by utilising water resources, set up a water resources decision support system and databank, promote international collaboration on water sectors and establish a water resources trust fund.
