A hybrid model to quantify the impact of climate change on agriculture in Godavari Basin, India.
International Water Management Institute, 2011A hybrid model incorporating the econometric and programming models was developed to quantify the impact of climate change on agriculture in Godavari basin, India.DocumentDigging, damming or diverting? Small-scale irrigation in the Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
International Water Management Institute, 2011The diversity of small-scale irrigation on the Fogera plains, in the Ethiopian Blue Nile river basin, includes small dams, hand-dug wells, ponds and river diversion systems. These facilities, however, receive little political attention in negotiations over Nile resources, which focus primarily on large dams.DocumentSetting the agenda: climate change adaptation and mitigation for food systems in the developing world.
2012New agricultural development pathways are required to meet climate change adaptation and mitigation needs in the food systems of low-income countries. A research and policy agenda is provided to indicate where innovation and new knowledge are needed.DocumentClimate change in a small transboundary tributary of the Syr Darya calls for effective cooperation and adaptation.
International Water Management Institute, 2012This article focuses on cooperative adaptation strategies at the community, water user association, district, and national levels along the Khojabakirgansai, a small transboundary tributary of the Syr Darya in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.DocumentAnalysis of flow and baseflow trends in the Usangu Catchment, Tanzania.
International Water Management Institute, 2012Perceived increased water scarcity in the Usangu catchment, Tanzania has raised social conflict that requires proper water management. Proper management of water resources requires understanding long-term trends of hydrological change.DocumentWater and agriculture vulnerability to climate change and adaptive capacity in southern Africa.
2012Increasing temperatures and declining rainfall patterns as well as increasing frequency of extreme climate events such as droughts and floods are the expected future weather patterns within the tropics. Africa, particularly Southern Africa, is projected to be the region most vulnerable to the impacts of climate variability and change especially in agriculture and water.DocumentA vision for attaining food security.
International Water Management Institute, 2012Food is fundamental to human wellbeing and development. Increased food production remains a cornerstone strategy in the effort to alleviate global food insecurity. But despite the fact that global food production over the past half century has kept ahead of demand, today around one billion people do not have enough to eat, and a further billion lack adequate nutrition.DocumentEliciting farming decisions of smallholders in response to water availability conditions in Chingale, southern Malawi.
International Water Management Institute, 2012The objective of this project is to examine adaptation strategies of smallholders in the Chingale district of Malawi to climate change impact, as well as to the implications of introducing the Integration of Aquaculture into Diversified Food production Systems (IADFS).DocumentClimate change and groundwater: India’s opportunities for mitigation and adaptation
International Water Management Institute, 2009For millennia, India used surface storage and gravity flow to water crops. During the last 40 years, however, India has witnessed a decline in gravity-flow irrigation and the rise of a booming ‘water-scavenging’ irrigation economy through millions of small, private tubewells. For India, groundwater has become at once critical and threatened.DocumentManaging land and landscapes: a sourcebook
International Water Management Institute, 2008This sourcebook is intended as a ready reference for practitioners (including World Bank stakeholders and clients in borrowing countries as well as Bank project leaders) seeking information on the state of the art about good land management approaches and innovations for investments, and close monitoring for potential scaling up.Pages
