A Glance at One Decade of Water Occupancy Rates of Maksutlu Dam Lake, Sivas, ...AI Publications
This study focuses on the water occupancy rates of Maksutlu Dam Lake in Sivas of Turkey between 2010-2019. While the highest occupancy rate of Maksutlu Dam Lake was found as 32.36% in 2011, the lowest occupancy rate was determined as 2.50% in 2014. The average occupancy rate was calculated as 16.33±11.44 between 2010 and 2019. This shows that approximately eighty percent of Maksutlu Dam Lake has been empty at one decade. Accordingly, it was determined that there was a significant decrease in water occupancy rates in Maksutlu Dam Lake between 2010-2019 due to drought. Therefore, the water of Maksutlu Dam Lake should be used rationally. In addition, it is very important to take the necessary precautions against the water crisis that will occur in dry periods and to prepare a water management plan for Maksutlu Dam Lake.
This report delineates the pressures of water scarcity on countries during the onset of prolonged drought / frequent floods with the objective of highlighting best practices, scalable interventions that integrate uncertainties and risk into the water governance architecture.
It is written by Dr Sanchita Talukdar and was commissioned and paid for by me.
It deals with the South African water crisis from a global point of view.
OECD Green Talks LIVE | Diving deeper: the evolving landscape for assessing w...OECD Environment
Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

1. WATER-ENERGY-FOOD NEXUS AS A WAY TO STRENGTHENING
THE KEY DIMENSIONS OF NATIONAL SECURITY IN UZBEKISTAN
Vadim Sokolov
Head of Agency of IFAS for the Aral Sea Program in Uzbekistan
Expert Workshop on the benefits of regional cooperation on the energy-water-land nexus transformation in Central Asia
8 June 2021
2. Water is the key to all four nexus linkages of related sectors: water, food, energy and environmental
health.
Water closely connects all these sectors and aims at the economical use of water by them - with the aim of
future sustainable development.
Water security of Uzbekistan is ensured by 15% at the expense of its own water resources and by 85% in
accordance with agreements on the use of transboundary waters.
Threats to water security are increasing due to the growing population and water demand in all countries of
Central Asia, the impact of climate change and pollution.
In addition to these factors, aging water infrastructure and insufficient funding also have a negative impact
on water security.
Therefore, there are expectations that the level of water security will deteriorate in the coming years.
In dry years, water availability is expected to be less 70% (of water requirements).
3. Nexus is a tool building (institutional and technical) relationships and interactions between all economic sectors that
manage or use water. Three main sectors of the country and the region as a whole (water, energy and agriculture)
are interrelated: water is needed to produce energy, while water and energy are necessary for food production.

7. Water security can be improved through reforms
based on IWRM practical implementation
‘IWRM adopters’ are driving forces to implement reforms, they push:
•Incentives, motivation, and stimulus, which are needed to ensure that IWRM is self-sustaining.
•The involvement of stakeholders at all levels and increasing the number of IWRM adopters is crucial in
achieving targets of reform.
Critical mass or 25-30% of IWRM adopters is needed for IWRM process to reach the stage where the
process will be self-sustaining without strong external support and promotion.
•Currently, IWRM is adopted on only 5 percent of the total irrigated area in Central Asia.
•Another 20-25% of IWRM adopters is needed
WEF NEXUS role is to help create this critical mass, with proper competence!

9. Often IWRM concept is used as a ‘slogan’ –
without clear understanding of what it is in practice

Our understanding of IWRM: it is a process, including dynamically developed governance system at different levels of water
management hierarchy, that facilitates efficient and equitable water resources management (protection, delivery and use) through
application of advanced tools

But, again we did not focus paper to technical details…
10. Main focus of capacity building should be addressed to minimizing the negative impact of destabilizing
forces on IWRM implementation

11. Transboundary dimension: Is it possible to create a positive nexus among water, food, energy and
environmental security?
11
• Competing interests for water at transboundary level, especially when different sectors involved, have great
potential to transform the issue into cross-national confrontation, where political and corporative ambitions dominate
over common sense of sustainable balance.
• The positive nexus in Central Asia can be achieved, if river flow is regulated for the benefits of the public and
environmental interests rather than purely commercial interests of some sectors.
• Flow regulation along transboundary rivers should be agreed by main stakeholders at sectoral and national levels.
Examples of USA-Canada and Rhine Commission: water releases along rivers performed not upon decisions of
infrastructure owners but by water authorities upon policy agreement with all riparians.
Hence, the only way forward is to search for a consensus with a spirit of good will for cooperation on the basic
principles of IWRM.
12. Thank you for attention!
We are looking for productive cooperation
