Proposed Revision in ADB's Water Policy
Regarding Large Water Resources Projects
Comments from Clients and Stakeholders

The proposed revision may take into account stakeholders in riparian countries, as there may be important transboundary issues to consider.

When revising paragraph 32 the Bank may consider to emphasize the health impacts of the large water resource development projects (parallel to environment and social impacts). In fact ADB has specific guidelines for Health Impact Assessment (1992) which should be adhered to.
