The Little Green Data Book 2014
World Bank, 2014The Little Green Data Book is a reference for key environmental data for over 200 economies. Key indicators are organized under the headings of agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, energy, emission and pollution, and water and sanitation. It provides country-relevant ‘green’ metrics with the aim of giving a picture of environmental sustainability challenges.DocumentTopic guide: ecosystem services
Evidence on Demand, 2014The purpose of this Topic Guide is to assemble a set of learning resources that will contribute to the development of the professional competence of DFID Advisers around the issue of ecosystem services and integrating this issue into project and programme design processes. The specific objectives are to:DocumentGlobal water demand projections: past, present and future
International Water Management Institute, 2014This research paper focuses on water demand projections (WDPs) which are widely used for future water resource planning. It argues that accurate WDPs can reduce waste or scarcity associated with overdevelopment or underdevelopment, respectively, of water resources.DocumentEnvironmental impact assessment in sustainable water resources development: major issues of consideration
Science, Technology and Arts Research Journal, 2014This paper argues that to bring more environmental integrity to water resources development, major challenges such as population pressure, climate change, planning and policies should be properly addressed.DocumentEnergy and water: the vital link for a sustainable future
Stockholm International Water Institute, 2014Access to water and energy of the right quality and at an affordable price underpins poverty eradication and improved health. Water is used in energy production and energy in the provision of and treatment of water. However, if we don’t manage the water resources wisely, the possibility to secure energy for all is at risk.DocumentAgricultural Water management technology expansion and impact on crop yields in northern Burkina Faso (1980-2010): a review
Challenge Program on Water and Food, 2014Exploring the links between adoption of agricultural water management interventions and livelihoods in northern Burkina FasoDocumentOn-farm treatment options for wastewater, greywater and fecal sludge with special reference to West Africa
International Water Management Institute, 2014This paper focuses on the on-farm treatment of waste water, particularly in West Africa, and argues that while although it can hardly replace conventional treatment, it can contribute to risk reduction, especially if combined with other barriers such as safe irrigation practices and post-harvest crop washing.DocumentSouthern Africa’s dryland forests, climate change and the water–energy–food security nexus
South African Institute of International Affairs, 2014Forests and trees in Southern Africa’s drylands provide a multitude of goods and services, ranging from timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs) to carbon sequestration and the protection of watersheds and biodiversity.DocumentAssessing and forecasting groundwater development costs in Sub-Saharan Africa
African Journals Online - AJOL, 2013Greater use of groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa is a pre-requisite for improved human welfare; however, the costs associated with groundwater development are prohibitively high and poorly defined. This study identifies and disaggregates the costs of groundwater development in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries, while the cost factors that most strongly affect drilling expenditures are traced.DocumentAbu Dhabi Blue Carbon Demonstration Project.
