The Center for Hydroinformatics in River Basins (CHIRB) is an important member of the Asia-Pacific Water Forum's KnowledgeHubs network. CHIRB will help develop decision-support mechanisms for river basin management in the Asia-Pacific region. View other water knowledge hubs.

ADB is providing further support in expanding and improving investments in integrated water resources management (IWRM) in river basins under the Water Financing Program 2006-2010 and is a major supporter of APWF activities, particularly in developing regional water knowledge hubs.

APWF and ADB are organizing this meeting to share hydro-informatics in major river basins in the Asia-Pacific. It will also introduce the Center for Hydro-informatics in River Basins as the regional water knowledge hub on hydro-informatics. The new hub is expected to provide knowledge and capacity development services for this topic to meet the needs of river basin projects and river basin organizations across the region.
