An important aim of this project is to pilot test the river basin management approach in Myanmar, and the Bago River Sub-basin has been selected as a pilot case study area. This report presents an important input to a coordinated Sub-basin Management Plan by presenting environmental objectives and abatement measures as discussed in the Bago River Sub-basin Area Committee and in the Bago River Sub-basin Area Non-governmental stakeholder Group. In Chapter 2 we provide a brief description of international environmental policy objectives; in Chapter 3 , the Bago River Sub-basin is described with regard to the bio-geographic and socio-economic context and the main stakeholder groups are presented; in Chapter 4, Myanmar and Bago Sub-basin level environmental objectives and pressures are addressed; Chapter 5 presents current abatement measures in Bago Sub-basin for meeting environmental aims, and the last Chapter 6 presents the process of prioritizing among suggested measures.
