This chapter describes the development of a unified water information system designed to improve the management and preservation of hydrological resources in the Jamapa River Basin, supporting SDG 6 by strengthening data-driven water resource management. It also aligns with SDG 17 by highlighting collaboration and information exchange among multiple stakeholders to support sustainable water governance.

This chapter supports the UN SDGs by promoting sustainable and efficient hydropower technologies that contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by advancing renewable energy solutions with minimal environmental impact.

The chapter aligns strongly with the SDGs—especially SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality)—by highlighting women’s role in nutrition‑sensitive agriculture, dietary diversity, and food security. It also advances SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 3 (Good Health), SDG 8 (Decent Work), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 17 (Partnerships) via empowerment, climate‑smart practices and cooperative models. To be more explicit, the chapter should cite specific SDG targets and indicators (e.g., women’s land ownership rates, household dietary diversity scores) and outline monitoring and financing mechanisms. Including clear attention to marginalized groups and a brief M&E framework would further strengthen its policy relevance and accountability.
