 Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Mio Tei. I am the Director of the Jungle City Development Committee. In this great event or conference, I must very appreciates to present water management in Yangon. So as you know, Yama is one of the Asian country population, 52 million, forming ravers resource-rich country, especially abandoned water resources. Average annual rainfall is 2,500 millimetre. The country, Kapte is Nebido. Yangon is the largest and second Kapte of Myanmar. Yangon is the former Kapte city of Myanmar. It has over 5 million population. Annual rainfall is 2,700 millimetre. You know, the Shingon Goda is one of the famous tourist attractions, a religious place of Buddhism and Myanmar for the world of Buddhists. You know, the Kandahji Lake and Aya Lake and Yangon Reba, Bagoreba, Lai Reba, Ban Lai Reba, and Buzunong Creek as a main water body in Yangon. So it has abandoned water resources and surrounded by four rivers. Yangon is surrounded by four river. So although the city is quite close to the river water resource, those river are tidier rivers. So we cannot rely on the water from those river. Salinity level is also high and raw water can be rely only on the existing rainwater service reservoir. According to the 2040 population census, so Yangon population is 514 million. Since the population rate is higher and influx of people, Yangon population will be 10 million in 2040 according to our focus. So as consequence, water demand will be more and more higher. After 2030, the future water demand will be debarred of the existing amount. 90% of water come from the four main reservoirs at the moment. So we call them Chobyupuji, Ngumoye, and Laga. In future, there will be very limited water resources from those reservoirs because there is very limitation of the reservoir construction in the nearby area of Yangon. That's why the water, the new water resource for the future, can be rely only on the freshwater river surrounding area of Yangon. So treatment facilities are being extended to cover all of water supplies to be treated to water. So at the time being, there are three last-day water treatment plants in Yangon. So two plants are being operated at the moment. So one plant is in stay and implementation phase. And others, the last-day treatment plants will be implemented soon. It was an ODA loan project of Jaika. So after that, we will have four main water treatment plants for the whole Yangon. So at the time being, we have many challenges and issues in the water supply system in Yangon. The main problem is high net revenue water. Net revenue water rate is high because of age facility and age transmission line and distribution facilities. So damaged water meter and also the sun meter area and sparkly divide are also the prime factor for the increasing net revenue water rate. There are also institutional and financial and management issues like the necessity of the standard for the water supply and also the entire tariff system is still improper and also the tariff rate is also very low. And that is the current challenges for water supply system in Yangon. So although the main Yangon area has a proper water supply and holder season, major challenges occur in the other bank of the Yangon River. Yangon is surrounded by rivers. That's why the main Yangon area is okay for the current water supply. But the other bank of the Yangon River, that area is a new development area. So that area have major challenges. And due to the climate change and the hot weather condition, water scarcity occur in those areas during the dry season. Therefore, both ships and water box trucks are used for the drying and season for the temporary drinking water supply. That's why we made a master plan together with Ajayika. We plan for up to the 2040. Firstly, we are considering for the 2025 to make a necessary project. So in 2025, two last year projects will be completed. Two water treatment plan and four distribution service reservoirs will be born used to those projects. Before 2040, the system, we have a five last year water treatment plan. In 11 service reservoirs altogether, we YCTC emphasize and pay much attention to meet the sustainable development goals just by one. 2025 and 2040, the plan had been jointly focused formulators together with Ajayika for getting the wide range of service coverage. At the time being, two class K projects in which the 100 million gallon body capacity water amount, that amount is half of the existing water supply capacity will be increased. In 2024, the present supply amount is 931,000 cubic meter per day. It will be increased up to the 1,386,000 cubic meter per day after those projects. There are two Ajayika ODA loan projects at this moment. So phase one project is under construction and cooperating with Ajayika, another ODA loan. The provision volume from this water treatment plan will be 180,000 cubic meter per day for zone number seven and eight and also the Tiloar special economic zone. Here I'd like to share one information that the Tiloar special economic zone is one of the government plan projects at the moment for the near the Yangon city. That's why we need to supply water to that area at the moment. So we make one very big project to supply not only the city area but also for the special economic zone. So it is a last case project as per the schedule. It can be food for the water demand of 2024. So after completion of those two projects, we can rely the water up to the 2024. That is a primary plan of our Yangon. So up to the 2040 master plan. So we have to, we need to implement more water supply and projects. Now we are planning to, we make a project, we plan a project stage to implement for the success this year. Current water supply and system need to be strengthened and our reduction projects are necessary. So before getting water, new water from those two projects. So we need to strengthen our existing water supply and system. That is why we made a pre-laid now revenue water project within the city area. Initially this was a grant project. That I show in here is one of the Kresu grant project from the Japanese government. So after Kresu grant project, the Japanese government also assist for the extension for the whole township. So this is the one of the township wife NRU project in Yangon. So NRU reduction is one of the main activity in the current water supply and system of Yangon. So in cooperation with the international organization and SPA groups, several NRU reduction projects are being implemented to reduce the presence NRU rates. So the present rates are almost 50% to 15% target here. Before new water can buy the ODA project, so the distribution system should be upgraded by such kind of the narrow revenue water reduction project. And umbrellaly, so we also need to raise up the capacity of our staff. And also there is a plan of the JICA to support the technical assistance project. By introducing the technical assistance project, the program of capacity building and human resource development for our study engineers are adapted. The local and overseas training program are setting up to raise and improve the technical and management scale for planning, design as a technical and staff tariff collection and also the customer services and public relations as a financial and social etc. These are some activities of our department. Together with the JICA technical assistance team to cooperate with our staff to over our management of three of our boards, institutional management, narrow revenue, water management and water quality management. So at the moment, YCDC also plan to reorganize the existing department, engineering department, water and sanitation. As a water work authority, not only the water department, the other department also and other YCDC are planned to reorganize as a water authority. Decision making process and screen line process can be shortened and to be improved. Mobile business opportunity with OCCA and stakeholder participation can be also shortened. After reorganization, tangible results and prominent outcome of good carbonates and urban water supply will be achieved. You know this is a water festival in Myanmar. So water is a prime and crucial important for Myanmar New Year festival. So our Myanmar New Year festival, we call it water festival and also tangent festival. So Myanmar people use a lot of water in that water festival, the festival in the dry season and that's why we need a lot of water in the dry season. Water culture is one of the nation's symbol of Myanmar. That's why we need to have more water even in the rainy season and the dry season for the water festival. So YANGO is a gateway, as I mentioned before, even YANGO is not the capital city of Myanmar, but the commercial capital of Myanmar. So YANGO is the gateway to Myanmar in all kinds of transportation and business opportunity. Let YANGO to be rapid urbanization and higher water demand for drinking, domestic industry and commercial bubbles. Since the city area expansion for the new town and special economic zone like Tilawa, urgent water supply and projects are necessary for increasing water demand. That's why YANGO and also the other urban area and other rural area of Myanmar, so the government also like to raise the water supply capacity and also Myanmar hosts that Asia First Waste Water Summit in YANGO at December 2017. After the ABWS summit, so YANGO declaration was issued and this declaration said five years in advance compares to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and also the investment in size, double investment and the regional level in infrastructure and community-based effort to address the water-related disaster and significantly increase the water security. So in declaration, so it was also mentioned that the advanced research and development as well as the education and trainees to generate innovative solution, particularly in water use efficiency and productivity, recycling, risk assessment and reduction and policy and governance meet growing water demand, reduce disaster damage and improved water sanitation and wastewater management and establish a solid regulatory mechanism and planning at the local and national level to supply safe and sustainable drinking water and to extend and improved sanitation and wastewater management services. In conclusions, I would like to share our information that the government of the Union of Myanmar kindly supports the sustainable development improvement of integrated water management in Myanmar and also the State Council actively participate in the ABWS summit and ensures especially the rapid improvement of rural and urban water supply and services like Yangon in other urban and rural area in Myanmar. Finally, I would like to thanks to have a chance in this conference for sharing our information and current development activity of Yangon and let me express my sincere appreciation for excellent support by Japanese government, our JICA, GICS, ADB, AFD, World Bank and other international development agency and whoever support us. This is the end of my presentation. Thank you very much.
