| Abstract | This study addresses a topic that has received limited attention in supply chain research: water supply. While industrial supply chain studies have typically focused on the supply of raw materials and downstream product pathways, the supply of water has been largely overlooked, likely due to the perception that water is an inexhaustible resource provided by nature. However, the Lancang-Mekong Basin presents an opportunity to rethink the definition of supply chains, and to consider how to ensure the stable and equitable use of natural resources, including water, in order to create greater value for all water users throughout the industrial development process. The Lancang-Mekong River Basin is the largest river basin in Southeast Asia, and it is shared by several countries, including China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. This paper provides an overview of the current status of water supply and use in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin and highlights the importance of water use for the future industrial development of the coastal countries. Finally, the paper proposes a preliminary framework for managing water resources from a supply chain management perspective. The proposed framework is intended to promote sustainable development and informed water management practices in the region. |
