Water Consumption in Ulaanbaatar

(per person per day)
Ger = traditional nomadic house8 – 10 liters
(per person per day)
60% of Ulaanbaatar City’s population is living in Ger area
Due to urbanization and development, water consumption is increasing
Climate change and human activities lead to water scarcity, ground & surface water contamination
683 rivers, 1,484 ponds and springs, and 760 lakes have dried up over the last five years
Major concerns of water resources
Background and needs of IWRM planning
“IWRM plan is the document to manage waterresources protection, appropriate consumption andrestoration related activities in the River basin, basedon the integral approach”
(Mongolian Law on Water. 3.1.16).

• Water pollution fee» Polluters
Wastewater Treatment Plant
Over 200 million m3 of wastewater is transported by public sewage per year
Among them, 60 % is treated by the treatment facilities
60 million m3 of untreated waste water is dumped into the environment, causing surface & ground water contamination

Summary
Improvement of pasture, forest, water and wildlife management in the Mongolian river basins and to raise the natural resources
Encourage pasture management suits with carrying capacity
Make an arrangement the water utilization and allocationCreate pool and water reservoir using snow/rainwaterReforestation efforts and protect of upstream river and
spring Improve livelihood that are living in the river basin Execute new technology for any beneficial reduction in
water loss
