- Livestock, people, and water
- Primary opportunities for better water use
- Principles of livestock water productivity
- Support 50% of the people
- Sustain 90% of the livestock biomass
- Receive 85% of basin rainfall of 1.7 trillion m3
- pasture
- Convert E to T
- Increase crop and livestock water productivity
- 50% increase in crop and pasture WP is feasible (Rocktrom et al. 2003)
- LWP ∝ CWP
- Similar additional gains in livestock WP also feasible (Peden et al. 2009)br />
- Water
- Human health
- Animal health
- Capturing this water as “T” increases basin WP and diverts demands on blue water.
- Better feed, water, land, landscape, and animal management are also needed.
- Requires mix of technical, socio-economic, financial and institutional interventions.
