ADB expresses willingness to fund more water projects

THE Asian Development Bank (ADB) said it was willing to finance more water projects to provide safe water supplies to member-countries, similar to the Jaffna water project.

Jingmin Huang, principal urban development specialist of ADB, said that if a remote water irrigation system for drinking and planting, like that in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, can be financed, the easier that other potential sources of drinking water can be funded.
