Climate change is projected to intensify the global water cycle and impact both water availability and demand through changes in precipitation patterns. This poses substantial challenges for water resources management. Adapting water resources management to climate change requires integrated approaches like strengthening institutions, investing in infrastructure and ecosystems, improving knowledge sharing, and adopting cost-effective and adaptive technologies. Mainstreaming climate adaptation into existing water policies and development plans will help build long-term resilience to climate risks. International collaboration is also important given watersheds extend across borders.
Green Growth Investment in Coastal AreasCIFOR-ICRAF
- Coastal wetlands provide significant carbon storage and ecosystem services related to climate resilience, fisheries productivity, and hydrology, making blue carbon a priority for mitigation and adaptation.
- However, lack of effective coastal management has led to uncontrolled land conversion and degradation, reducing resilience. This is driven by insufficient awareness, policies, and most financing supporting degrading activities.
- There is a need to improve governance, policies, and redirect financing away from degradation and toward "green growth" approaches like community-based restoration, sustainable aquaculture, and carbon sequestration projects to support sustainable development. Donors can help by investing in alternative business models and de-risking projects.

This document discusses using integrated water resources management (IWRM) as an approach to climate change adaptation. Water is expected to be heavily impacted by climate change and water management is an important area to focus adaptation efforts. IWRM allows countries to build resilience to current climate variability while also developing the capacity to adapt to future impacts. Investing in water management provides both immediate benefits and builds robust institutions to ensure long-term resilience against climate change.

The document discusses strategies for mainstreaming environmental considerations into Kenya's development planning process. It recommends focusing the environmental debate on achieving food, energy and water security and adapting to climate change to highlight the strategic importance of the environment. Using tools like strategic environmental assessments and economic instruments, it suggests analyzing scenarios and collaboration between sectors to integrate environmental priorities. Drawing from other countries' experiences, it emphasizes the need for high-level political support, institutional mandates, engagement across sectors, and coordination between stakeholders to effectively mainstream the environment into planning, policymaking, and budgets.
Executive Summary - Water Stewardship in Africa Frontier Shared ValueDan Mitler, M.S.
Water stewardship presents opportunities for shared value creation between businesses and society. Investing in water infrastructure can generate both business value through risk mitigation and cost savings, as well as societal value through access to clean water, sanitation, and ecosystem protections. Africa is a promising region for water stewardship given high population growth, economic development, and significant water challenges. Tools can help prioritize investments that maximize both social and business value, such as WASH programs, watershed conservation, and sustainable agriculture projects in high-need countries. Overall, water stewardship is an impactful way for companies to address risks while creating benefits for people and the environment.
This document provides an overview of water demand management (WDM). It discusses traditional forms of WDM, the scope of WDM measures including reuse and recycling, trends in WDM, and constraints. Key points include:
- WDM aims to promote sustainable and equitable water use practices through approaches like pricing, restrictions, and other demand management techniques.
- The scope of WDM includes reducing losses throughout the water supply chain from abstraction to end use. Measures like reuse and recycling can become effective conservation techniques.
- Trends in water demand vary spatially between regions and over time due to factors like population growth, economic development, and climate change. Analyzing historical trends is important for planning.
This document discusses key water challenges in South Asia and the Water and Climate Resilience Programme (WACREP) being implemented to improve resilience. It notes that South Asia has a large population and limited water resources that are under stress. Key challenges include coping with water shortages from population growth and climate change, transboundary water issues, and pollution. WACREP aims to enhance water security and climate resilience through integrated water resources management, capacity building, and local resilience projects. The status and process for developing WACREP's work plan are outlined, along with challenges of limited time, political commitment, and partner capacity.

Water Land and Ecosystems (WLE): Building resilience in food production systems FAO
http://www.fao.org/about/meetings/afns/en/
Presentation from Fabrice De Clerck (Bioversity International) describing CGIAR’s Water Land and Ecosystems (WLE) research program and outlining its relevance to sustainable intensification and ecosystems preservation. The presentation was prepared and delivered in occasion of the International Symposium on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition, held at FAO in Rome on 18-19 September 2014.
1) The Technical Committee presented its 2010-2013 Roadmap which focused on creating knowledge through publications, scholarships, and decision support systems. It engaged regions through workshops in various areas.
2) Key highlights from engagement with regions included workshops in the Mediterranean, South Asia, South Asia/East Africa, Central Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia.
3) The Committee also aimed to influence international debates by participating in major events on water and engaging with partner organizations.
Project-based learning (PBL) involves students designing, developing, and constructing hands-on solutions to a problem. The educational value of PBL is that it aims to build students’ creative capacity to work through difficult or ill-structured problems, commonly in small teams. Typically, PBL takes students through the following phases or steps:
Identifying a problem
Agreeing on or devising a solution and potential solution path to the problem (i.e., how to achieve the solution)
Designing and developing a prototype of the solution
Refining the solution based on feedback from experts, instructors, and/or peers
Depending on the goals of the instructor, the size and scope of the project can vary greatly. Students may complete the four phases listed above over the course of many weeks, or even several times within a single class period.
Because of its focus on creativity and collaboration, PBL is enhanced when students experience opportunities to work across disciplines, employ technologies to make communication and product realization more efficient, or to design solutions to real-world problems posed by outside organizations or corporations. Projects do not need to be highly complex for students to benefit from PBL techniques. Often times, quick and simple projects are enough to provide students with valuable opportunities to make connections across content and practice. Implementing Project-Based Learning
As a pedagogical approach, PBL entails several key processes: (1) defining problems in terms of given constraints or challenges, (2) generating multiple ideas to solve a given problem, (3) prototyping — often in rapid iteration — potential solutions to a problem, and (4) testing the developed solution products or services in a “live” or authentic setting.
Defining the Problem
PBL projects should start with students asking questions about a problem. What is the nature of problem they are trying to solve? What assumptions can they make about why the problem exists? Asking such questions will help students frame the problem in an appropriate context. If students are working on a real-world problem, it is important to consider how an end user will benefit from a solution.
Generating Ideas
Next, students should be given the opportunity to brainstorm and discuss their ideas for solving the problem. The emphasis here is not to generate necessarily good ideas, but to generate many ideas. As such, brainstorming should encourage students to think wildly, but to stay focused on the problem. Setting guidelines for brainstorming sessions, such as giving everyone a chance to voice an idea, suspending judgement of others’ ideas, and building on the ideas of others will help make brainstorming a productive and generative exercise.
Prototyping Solutions
Designing and prototyping a solution are typically the next phase of the PBL process.

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.

Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

6. Barriers to Financing Water Projects
Under-pricing of water: Water is a public good and generally
an under-valued resource, not properly accounted for by
the government and the investors that depend on or affect
its availability in other sectors such as urban development,
agriculture, and energy.
Water services are often under-priced, resulting in low
cost-recovery for water investments.
Capital-intensive Water resources, irrigation, water supply,
and wastewater infrastructures are generally capital
intensive, with high sunk costs and long pay-back periods.
Monetising benefits: Water management provides both
public and private co-benefits, many of which cannot be
easily monetised. This reduces potential revenue flows.
Context-specific projects: Water projects are often too
small or too context-specific, raising transaction costs and
making innovative financing models difficult to scale-up.
Poor business models: Business models often fail to
support O&M efficiency, hampering the ability to
sustain service at least cost over time.
Lack of integrated development
planning and capacities that
consider maladaptation risks and
investment needs across the NEXUS
sectors, climate information services
and supply;
Limited investment in innovative
farming practices, agricultural
technologies and business models
to incentivize stakeholders to adapt;
Lack of access to affordable finance
to invest in low-emission agricultural
practices, regenerative businesses and
sustainable food systems:
Inadequate public and private
finance to invest in commercially
viable climate-resilient projects and
programs at scale;
Lack of knowledge and access to
information on resilient and low-
emission Nexus practices and related
benefits;
Lack of awareness of low-emissions
Nexus practices, use of modern ICT
tools and techniques for climate
resilient Nexus systems.
Cultural and behavioral barriers in
changing food production systems and
diets.
