lpv:translated text	"For years, the European Investment Bank and the World Bank have financed projects relating to the water sector, particularly the construction of dams in less developed countries, such as Laos and Pakistan. I am voting for this report because I consider water a scarce resource essential to public health, and believe it is important to ensure effective management of water resources and their equitable distribution to populations. I advocate the construction of dams that contribute to improving the quality of life of populations, and argue that their impact on river flows and the way they will affect the agricultural livelihoods of local communities should be assessed. In the future, efforts should be made to analyse the economic viability of large dams, and measures taken to optimise the distribution of water from already existing infrastructure and its use by multiple sectors of the economy. As such, I believe that improving the quality of life of the populations of less developed regions should involve setting out a comprehensive dam strategy, establishing fruitful political dialogue, and investment in warning systems capable of pre-detecting natural disasters such as floods, landslides or tsunamis."@en1
