| Abstract | The Central Asian states and Afghanistan, except Kazakhstan, are poor. Water for economic growth is therefore at the core of their interests. There is a significant hydropower potential in the Aral Sea Basin and there exist major hydrocarbon assets. The region as a whole is relatively well endowed in water resources but lacks good national and regional management frameworks. There are significant “upstreamdownstream” issues with wealthier countries downstream and poorer countries upstream; hydropower potential upstream and irrigation demands downstream; and different governance structures, for example, Kazakhstan pursuing a market-oriented approach while Turkmenistan is based on full state property of water resources.
