POTENTIAL FOR INCREASING AGRICULTURAL WATER PRODUCTIVITY IN THE BLACK VOLTA B...International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
This document summarizes Stephen Quandzie's MSc thesis on the potential to increase agricultural water productivity in Ghana's Black Volta Basin. The research questions whether agricultural water productivity can be increased, if increased dry season agriculture would help reduce poverty, and which agricultural water management intervention has the potential to improve livelihoods sustainably. The methodology involves using the CROPWAT and CLIMWAT models to analyze crop water consumption factors and physical, economic, and livestock water productivity. The results found that small reservoirs, shallow wells, and water pumps with reservoirs over-irrigated crops. Water pumps with reservoirs or river access were identified as having the best potential to enhance agricultural water management and promote off-farm skills development.Innisvale Drive Outfall Restoration
The Innisvale Drive Outfall Restoration project was substantially completed on December 11, 2018. The primary goals of this project in the Popes Head Creek Watershed were to address public safety concerns, stabilize a deeply eroded channel, and improve water quality. The natural channel design techniques used, such as a reinforced bed mix riffle sections and step pools, reduce the flow velocity, provide stability, and enhance water quality along the stream leading to the Chesapeake Bay. The disturbed areas of the site were restored with native shrubs, plants and trees.
Opportunities for a Water Sensitive Greater Sydney
This document discusses opportunities for adopting a water sensitive approach to planning in Greater Sydney. It argues that current approaches to urban development risk not delivering expected social, environmental, and economic outcomes, while a water sensitive approach could help create more sustainable, resilient, productive, and livable cities. The Greater Sydney Commission is uniquely placed to provide leadership on this issue. The document then provides principles of water sensitive planning and identifies four key opportunities for the Commission to facilitate best practices: 1) embedding water sensitive principles into district plans and planning instruments, 2) improving inter-agency cooperation on water infrastructure, 3) leading reforms to finance and governance arrangements, and 4) strengthening implementation of plans.

A healthy stream has stable banks and sediment transport, with diverse in-stream habitat and flows. Key factors include stable streambeds and natural floodplains, as well as vegetated riparian buffers. Unstable streams can aggrade or degrade from changes in watershed runoff, sediment loads, slopes, and floodplain or riparian disturbances. Assessing stability uses metrics like entrenchment ratios, meander widths, and bank erosion hazard indices.

Moving Forward on Agricultural Water Conservation in the Colorado River BasinNational Institute of Food and Agriculture
This document summarizes a project that evaluated strategies for agricultural water conservation in the Colorado River Basin. The project had four objectives: 1) Evaluate available conservation technology; 2) Identify legal, economic, and social barriers; 3) Strategize with producers and managers to overcome barriers; and 4) Share findings. Case studies were conducted on innovative collaboration programs. Meetings with producers explored barriers like "use it or lose it" laws. The project concluded that one-size-fits-all solutions are unlikely, and that addressing institutional and economic barriers can benefit farmers and help sustain agriculture in the basin.McLellan - The Watershed Approach
This document discusses implementing a watershed approach to reducing nutrient losses from agricultural landscapes. It proposes looking at entire watershed systems, from fields to streams, to identify opportunities to decrease nutrient sources and transport and restore nutrient sinks. Priority practices are mapped based on landscape factors like soil drainage. Case studies demonstrate the approach, showing scenarios to achieve water quality goals through targeted placement of practices. Lessons from demonstration projects inform transferring the approach to other areas.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Editor's Notes
- Not just shorelines, but streams and creeks also. All slope stabilization and retaining walls in Chesapeake Bay watershed.
- Bulkheads and hard structures increase nearshore erosion- Over 300 miles of MD shoreline hardened 1978 – 1997Sediment in the Chesapeake Bay and Management Issues: Tidal Erosion ProcessesTidal Sediment Control Task Force of the Sediment Workgroup of the Chesapeake Bay Program Nutrient SubcommitteeMay 2005
- System designed for:Geographic scalabilityLow capital cost to produceLower carbon footprint (less concrete; less transportation)Larger planting pocket
- Recipient of Chesapeake Bay Seed Capital Funding with endorsement of Md. Dept Natural Resources
- These walls get engineered in similar manner to any other retaining wall and/or slope stabilization system.
- Erosion wasn’t an issue here, but property integrity and building foundation was.In addressing structural issues – habitat created, nutrient uptake increased.
- Plant selection in waterfront condition may be dictated by local authorities. In this picture, Md Dept Natural Resources and Critical Areas Commission specified native, non-invasive wetland plant varieties and asked that no weeding occur so that nature would restore this slope on its own.Erosion completely eliminated. Living/soft shoreline created. Habitat created. Nutrient uptake ?
- Approximately 5M sf of retaining wall installed annually in metro Baltimore/Washington markets.How much along shorelines?
- In commercial settings, sedum varieties are often selected because they do well in compromised soil conditions and require little maintenance from year to year. Similar reasoning behind the preference for sedum for living roofs. The larger leafed or draping sedum varieties are more likely to cover the modules. Pictured here is Sedum kamtschaticum.
- This DOT slope was hydroseeding with native, non-invasives chosen for low maintenance and “no mow” characteristics.
