Climate change adaptation for agriculture and agro-ecosystems: the critical role of water. Viewpoints
International Water Management Institute, 2007It has been said that climate change mitigation is about gases and that adaptation is about water. In a world where 70 percent of water withdrawals are used for agriculture, it is important that we develop adaptation strategies to manage the impacts of climate change on water availability, agriculture, and the environment.DocumentFacing climate change by securing water for food, livelihoods and ecosystems.
International Water Management Institute, 2007International Water Management Institute paper on the need for and composition of a water research agenda from a water-food-livelihood nexus perspective.DocumentIncreasing the resilience of dryland agro-ecosystems to climate change
International Water Management Institute, 2007The current debate on climate change, its impacts on socio-ecological systems and the role of agriculture has shifted from an emphasis on how to mitigate the effects of increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to how to prepare and adapt to the expected adverse impacts.DocumentHealthy wetlands, healthy people: a review of wetlands and human health interactions.
International Water Management Institute, 2012Despite the production of more food and extraction of more water globally, wetlands continue to decline and public health and living standards for many do not improve. Why is this – and what needs to change to improve the situation? If we manage wetlands better, can we improve the health and well-being of people? Indeed, why is this important?DocumentDownstream impacts of the Melamchi Inter-Basin Water Transfer Plan (MIWTP) under current and future climate change projections.
International Water Management Institute, 2012The Melamchi Water Supply Project (MWSP) is designed to minimize the shortage of drinking water in the Kathmandu valley. Although the project was supposed to be completed by 2008, due to various problems, it is still diffi cult to forecast the exact date of completion.DocumentDoubling irrigation for southern Africa – do we have enough water and where is the hope?
International Water Management Institute, 2012Southern Africa Development Communality (SADC) through its Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) has set up an ambitious goal to double irrigation by 2015, which it sees as important component to sustain regional development and ensure food security.DocumentThe Nile River Basin: water, agriculture, governance and livelihoods
International Water Management Institute, 2012This book covers the whole Nile Basin and is based on the results of three major research projects supported by the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF). It provides unique and up-to-date insights on agriculture, water resources, governance, poverty, productivity, upstream–downstream linkages, innovations, future plans and their implications.DocumentLet it reign: the new water paradigm for global food security: final report to CSD-13
International Water Management Institute, 2005For the 13th meeting of the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD-13), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) commissioned the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI) to produce “Let it Reign: The New Water Paradigm for Global Food Security”.DocumentSearching evidence for climatic change: Analysis of hydro-meteorological time series in the Upper Indus Basin
International Water Management Institute, 2001The study examines some of the major components of water cycle in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) to look for evidence of climate change. An analysis of hydrometeorological data has been performed for UIB.DocumentA review of climate change scenarios and preliminary rainfall trend analysis in the Oum Er Rbia Basin, Morocco.
International Water Management Institute, 2006The paper reviews the existing tools methods and general literature which deal with the construction of climate change (CC) scenarios and with the assessment of impacts of these scenarios on water resources. It further examines the existing CC predictions specific to Morocco.Pages
