On April 18, 2011 as a part of the project on 'Analysis of Sustainable Water Resource Use in Asia', FAO launched a web conference which will be held entirely online for 12 weeks till mid July, with the main objective to create a space for the discussion of several topics such as policies and practices of water allocation, particularly in agriculture. The aim of the conference is to "identify the issues and challenges related to water allocation, and to explore the agricultural responses at all scales".

Every week a different topic will be addressed with the main goal to encourage people to discuss key regional issues, and to provide an online platform for regional and international experts, government staff, researchers, academics, NGOs, system managers and all other stakeholders dealing with those issues.

The conference, hosted by FAO, is developed in close partnership with a several international organizations such as the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), UNESCAP, AusAID, Global Water Partnership (GWP), the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), IUCN and the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID).
