The plan which will start from the fiscal year of 2010, is to meet the increasing demand for fresh water in these cities.

A fresh water committee and a fresh water service company of Tokyo will provide water filter devices and give advice on how to limit water loss to the cities of Southeast Asian countries.

The company will also help manage clean water pipelines and accelerate clean water supply projects in regional countries.

Its survey reported that Southeast Asian cities recorded a big water loss, with 38 percent in Ho Chi Minh City and 26 percent in Cambodia’s Phnom Penh. Tokyo’s currently applied technology for water loss prevention has helped lower the loss proportion to 3 percent./.
