A Government regulatory agency responsible for effectively managing the water resources and increasing the efficiency for managing tax revenue will be established in 2020. According to the N.Tserenbat, Minister of Environment and Tourism, Mongolia will implement a project to be called ‘Blue Horse’ for increasing the use of surface-water and expanding the national water system through enhanced monitoring and  high tech innovation.

Mongolia’s water resources are unevenly distributed: in the mountainous regions – most notably the north and west of the country – water resources are sufficient. But in the Gobi desert area, underground sources account for 80% of total water consumption. Around 30% of Mongolia’s population has access to the water supply system. About 25% of the population receives water from the water transportation service, over 35% get water from water supply points and less than 10% use water from springs, rivers and snow melt water.
