Study warns Mongolia needs to take account of industrial water needs

摘要

A new study undertaken by the ADB and Mongolia's Ministry of Environment and Green Development (MEGD) has recommended that as water is becoming increasingly scarce, the country must include water resource considerations in development planning for energy and mining. Ayumi Konishi, director-general of ADB's East Asia department, said: 'The mining industry and thermal power stations are thirsty for Mongolia's increasingly scarce water. In Mongolia, as elsewhere, it's critical to consider water and energy use side by side.'
