Data Book of Southeast Asian Water Utilities 2005

Abstract

The Data Book for Southeast Asian Water Utilities 2005 follows the earlier data book with 2003 data published by the Southeast Asian Water Utilities Network (SEAWUN) with support from the Asian Development Bank. It is part of their common objectives of helping water utilities in the region to assess their performance that could lead to efforts in improving their level of performance. The indicators derived from data provided by the participating utilities when analyzed are useful tools for setting performance improvement goals and for monitoring the attainment of these goals.

The Data Book for Southeast Asian Water Utilities 2005 is a comprehensive compilation of information on the performance 40 water utilities in the Southeast Asia region. It is presented in a user friendly format to make it easier for the reader to look for information and to compare performance indicators. The book is patterned after the earlier publication of ADB's two Water Utilities Data Books for the Asian and Pacific Region published in 1993 and 1997, and the more recent Water in Asian Cities in 2004, which were all well received by stakeholders and have served as useful reference documents.
