IWMI's current research includes two projects related to sustainable water resources management in agricultural areas in Central Asia. It includes, among others, the mapping of existing water related projects to identify research gaps, introducing innovative technologies in agriculture for sustainable management of water resources in agriculture, develop policy recommendations with the aim to establish national plans.

Impacts of management and modernization on water savings in large irrigation ...Innspub Net
This study was conducted to assess and optimize the conveyance performance of major irrigation systems in the case of the NIA-Magat River Integrated Irrigation System in the Philippines. Options Analysis in Irrigation System (OASIS) was used to evaluate and optimize the conveyance efficiency of the system. Management and modernization scenarios were undertaken in the irrigation system assuming that the rehabilitation projects exerted efforts on improving efficiencies and reduced losses in the conveyance and distribution systems. Based on the results, the actual condition of the irrigation system as the reference of improvement will have 1,365,759 million cubic meters diversion supply from MARIIS and Baligatan diversion dams. Having been improved from 76% of conveyance efficiency to 95% assumed result of the improvement measures, approximately 84,303 million cubic meters or 6% increase from the actual diversion requirement can be realized. With every 1% increase in conveyance efficiency, there will be approximately 33,831 cubic meters savings in irrigation diversion requirements. This could be achieved through canal repairs of damaged structures, the lining of earth canals, and modernization of control structures. The OASIS program has shown its ability to assess the effects of irrigation management and modernization in a large irrigation system that can serve as a science-based planning and decision-making support program. It may also be used to study the management and optimization of irrigation in other irrigation systems in the country and elsewhere in the world.
This presentation was given at the 2019 Catchment Management Network meeting, which was held on the 11 October in Tullamore. All our local authorities and other bodies responsible for implementing the Water Framework Directive in Ireland attended to share knowledge and learn from each other.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. INTERNATIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
IWMI is a non-profit, scientific research organization with focus on the
sustainable use of water and land resources in developing countries
IWMI leads CRP 5: Water, Land & Ecosystems (WLE).
IWMI contributes to CRPs: CCAFS; DS; Humidtropics; AAS; Policies,
Institutions and Markets (PIM)
3. IWMI’S ACTIVITIES IN CENTRAL ASIA
IWMI started its activities in Central Asia in 2001 with
main focus of research on:
Member of Regional Program for
Sustainable Agricultural
Development in Central Asia and
Caucasus led by ICARDA
Implemented Programs/Projects in
Uzbekistan:
SDC: IWRM-FV (2001-2012)
SDC: WPI-PL (2008-2012)
ADB: Bright Spots and others
CRP Water, Land & Ecosystems
GIZ/BMZ: Improving irrigation
efficiency in Potato fields
IWMI hosts GWP-CACENA
Partnership with European
Universities (Humboldt University
Berlin, CDE/University of Bern and
other active networks/initiatives
4. CHALLENGES IN THE REGION
Central Asian states face four main challenges
with regard to agriculture and water security
Population growth remains high in all countries within the region.
There is a need for increasing food production in the region.
Water – Energy – Food Nexus
Salinization and waterlogging
Climate change
5. IWMI’S ACTIVITIES OVER PAST PERIOD
Improving water management and water productivity for potato crops
Increasing WUE for double cropping: winter wheat/ mungbean
Improving water and energy productivity
for grapes, orchards, legumes, winter wheat and potato
Financial and economic sustainability of water management
organizations;
Impact of establishing institutions for food security
Introduction of IWRM principles and Water
Governance
Effective water management institutions
Identifying best practices for water savings
Improving irrigation performance
Water and energy productivity improvement
GIS/Remote sensing and climate change based
analysis on water management and balances
6. CURRENT ACTIVITIES
Currently IWMI – CA conducting two main projects in the region
related to sustainable water resources management in
agricultural areas.
• Mapping and documenting existing water related projects to
find research gaps
• Overview and mapping next steps to introduce innovative
technologies in agriculture for sustainable management of
water resources in agriculture
• Based on this findings, we develop a recommendations for
policy and institutions to develop a national plans
• Water and energy use efficiency analysis

11. CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE
REGIONAL CONTEXT
Continuation of degradation of glaciations and shortage of
snowfalls in the mountains.
Increasing water resource deficit, worsening of the water
quality.
Increase of natural risks, extreme hydrometeorologic events
(droughts, floods, snow slides, etc).
Decrease in the productivity of modern varieties of
agricultural crops, and productivity of pastures and livestock,
increased risks of food security.
Increase of risks for the health of the population.
Toughening of the Aral sea crisis.
12. FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR COLLABORATION
Introduction of new technologies and approaches in water and land
management from field to basin scales;
Adapt global best management practices in transboundary waters to strengthen
cooperation over shared waters in Central Asia;
Assess trade-offs of alternative development scenarios, taking a nexus
perspective;
Incorporate ecosystem approaches into agricultural systems;
Identify areas to improve environmental conservation, conduct water quality
assessments, introduce water saving technologies;
Assess performance and identify solutions for agricultural water management –
large- and small-scale;
Improve resilience to climate shocks – provide flood and drought analysis for
planning and response, and analysis of big data in real time;
Carry out financial and economic feasibility assessments of water management
in the region;
Strengthening capacity of water users and water institutions and achieving
uptake of research findings
