- Water and energy dynamics in the Greater Himalayan region: opportunities for environmental peacebuilding
- M. Renner / Norwegian Peacebuilding Centre, 2011
- The water crisis in the Greater Himalayas constitutes an enormous challenge for the region and a growing, if still under-reported, concern in the West. Elements of the crisis include floods and droughts, unpredictable changes in the t...
- Strengthen glacial research and modeling of glaciers to avoid floods and droughts
- B. P. Kaltenborn (ed); C. Nellemann (ed); I. I. Vistnes (ed) / Arendal Maps & Graphics Library, UNEP/GRID, 2010
- Climate change is causing significant mass loss of glaciers in high mountains worldwide. This report calls for accelerating research, monitoring and modeling of glaciers, snow and their role in water supplies. Although gl...
- African cities must restore ecosystems, reduce water consumption and recycle waste water
- C. Mafuta (ed); R.K. Formo (ed); C. Nellemann (ed) / Arendal Maps & Graphics Library, UNEP/GRID, 2011
- In light of its rapid urban growth, Africa is likely to experience some of the most severe impacts of climate change – particularly when it comes to water and food security, which places enormous pressure on growing urban p...
- A need for improved understanding of hill furrow irrigation systems in Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
- M. Tagseth / Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2011
- The main objective of this thesis is to contribute knowledge of water management and water use in hill furrow irrigation in Kilimanjaro region in Tanzania. The paper analyses the waters of the region, conceptualised as a waterscape co...
- Poor water management lies at the heart of Central-South Asia’s 'thirstiness'
- M. Renner / Norwegian Peacebuilding Centre, 2009
- Water issues play a crucial role in Central-South Asia (C-SA), both in the quantity of water available and its quality. This policy brief argues that while much of the region is experiencing water shortages, poor water management lies...
- Water management reform in Tanzania: considering irrigation systems and new water water policies for Kilimanjaro
- M. Tagseth / Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2010
- The practices and technology related to irrigation in Tanzania are relevant to debates about indigenous intensive agricultural systems, concerning their sustainability and prospects for development. This study analyses water system of...
- How can the international community help Pakistan to overcome its water crisis?
- M. Kugelman / Norwegian Peacebuilding Centre, 2010

- How sustainable is Community-Led Total Sanitation?
- S. Movik; L. Mehta / STEPS Centre, Institute of Development Studies, 2010
- Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) represents a radical alternative to conventional top-down approaches to sanitation, and offers hope of achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This paper deals in detail with the idea o...
- Securing people’s access to adequate water: innovative ideas in technological solutions and institutional frameworks
- S. Movik; L. Mehta / STEPS Centre, Institute of Development Studies, 2009
- This paper highlights challenges in terms of water and sanitation, and tests out how the concepts of directionality, diversity and distribution can act as guiding principles for future developments. The report states that t...
- How could projected climatic changes affect water availability in the Syr Darya catchment, Central Asia
- T. Siegfried; T. Bernauer; R. Guiennet / International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, 2010
- Climate models predict important changes in Central Asia's temperature and precipitation, which could exacerbate already existing tensions over scarce water resources. This paper tries to examine how projected climatic changes could a...
