FAO Water Tenure Mondays: “Water Protection Zones in Lao People's Democratic Republic” (26/01/20
February 19, 2026

The 2025-2026 Water Tenure Mondays webinar series supports regional and global dialogues on water tenure, particularly in Asia and the Pacific.

Since 2024, the Lao Water Partnership, with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE), has focused on Water Resources Protection Zones (WRPZ). This session details WRPZ guideline development and how zoning supports water allocation, protects critical sources, and manages competing demands.
