Azerbaijan is preparing to overhaul its national water management system in 2026, introducing what experts describe as one of the most integrated, climate-smart and digitally enabled water governance frameworks in the wider Caspian region.
According to environmental and water expert Dr. Rovshan Abbasov, the reform marks a structural shift away from fragmented sectoral management and towards a more unified system that links water security directly with economic planning, climate risk management and urban development.
