The document summarizes challenges and opportunities related to investments in agricultural water in the Sahel region in the context of COVID-19. It notes that less than 5% of water resources and 4% of arable land are used for irrigation in the Sahel, where 40% of the population faces food insecurity. COVID-19 has aggravated the situation by causing job and income losses. The document discusses strategies by the CILSS Water Program and a regional coalition to boost irrigation investment, including developing "irrigation solution packages" and a regional project portfolio to accelerate funding decisions and support national projects. It emphasizes the need to increase knowledge of water resources, boost water productivity, and invest in projects ready for implementation.
This document discusses increasing agricultural water productivity. It notes that with population growth and increasing water demand, more food must be produced using less water. Improving water productivity through strategies like water savings and more efficient uses can help meet this challenge. The document then outlines various ways to increase water productivity, such as for crops, livestock, fisheries, and integrated systems. It also discusses how increased water productivity can help reduce poverty through improved food security, employment, and income opportunities.

The document summarizes a virtual roundtable on financing agricultural water held by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. It notes that population growth and improved nutrition are increasing demand for agricultural water, while availability is decreasing due to factors like urbanization, climate change, and environmental stresses. Trillions of dollars in investment will be needed globally by 2050 to ensure sufficient water for agriculture. Adaptation is needed through technological innovations, policy reforms, and innovative financing mechanisms to modernize irrigation systems and make them more flexible and sustainable. Successful adaptation requires cross-sectoral cooperation across areas like finance, rural development, trade and the environment.

This document discusses opportunities and challenges for improving agricultural water management in Africa. It notes that food production needs to increase 60% to meet rising demand, yet only 4% of land is irrigated currently. Challenges include underperformance of rain-fed and irrigated systems, low investment, and inadequate governance. However, opportunities exist in developing underutilized water resources, expanding irrigation area, and increasing high-value crop production. Improving management requires building capacity at all levels as well as technologies, services, leadership, and integrated actions.
This is a presentation outlining IWMI's Strategic Plan. The International Water Management Institute is one of 15 international research centers supported by the network of 60 governments, private foundations and international and regional organizations collectively known as the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). It is a non-profit organization with a staff of 350 and offices in over 10 countries across Asia and Africa and Headquarters in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Presented by Sonali Senaratna Sellamuttu at the fifth International Conference on Water Resources and Hydropower Development in Asia (Colombo, Sri Lanka, 11-13 March 2014). Hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin is advancing rapidly but very little attention is paid to constructing and operating dams in ways that benefit all water users. Riparian and displaced are often unable to engage in their original livelihood activities after dam construction. New livelihood options for these communities can be created or included in dam planning, as made evident by two pilot studies highlighted in the presentation. The pilots, carried out under a CPWF Mekong project, were an integrated rice-fish culture near the Theun Hinboun Expansion Project (Lao PDR) and the introduction of a new strain of cassava near the Yali Dam site (Vietnam). These pilots showed how research for development and partnering with key actors in the private and public sectors has the potential to lead to the development of new livelihood-enhancement opportunities in modified environments created by dams.
The document discusses several key issues related to water and agriculture in India:
1) Agriculture is the largest user of water in India but is not always an efficient user, and agricultural water demand can be reduced through various conservation measures and cropping changes.
2) The traditional approach of large irrigation projects is no longer sustainable, and water policy must shift priority to restraining demand growth and increasing local solutions like watershed management.
3) Groundwater exploitation also needs to be curtailed to protect resources and equity, as over half of India's irrigation water comes from unsustainable groundwater use.

1) Ethiopia faces constraints in the water-energy-food nexus due to its reliance on rain-fed agriculture and hydropower, leaving it vulnerable to climate change impacts like changing rainfall patterns.
2) Climate change is projected to reduce crop yields and river flows in Ethiopia by 2050, negatively impacting food production, hydropower generation, and economic growth.
3) A modeling analysis found that under climate change, Ethiopia's real GDP growth and welfare could be 0.14-0.21 percentage points lower annually by 2050, accumulating to losses of $143-238 billion over 2010-2050. Agriculture is most severely affected.

The integrated watershed management achieved water conservation and recharge objectives while promoting sustainable development.
Presentation by Jeremy Bird, DG, International Water Management Institute, at the CCAFS Workshop on Institutions and Policies to Scale out Climate Smart Agriculture held between 2-5 December 2013 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
This document summarizes the concept of river basin management on a global scale and in India. It discusses how several countries have established River Basin Organizations to facilitate integrated planning and management of water resources within hydrological boundaries. In the US, the Tennessee Valley Authority pioneered this approach. In the UK, regional water authorities successfully manage resources across multiple uses in each river basin. Similar basin-scale management models exist in other countries like Australia, France and India. The document advocates adopting a holistic basin approach in India to address water-related issues in a sustainable manner.
The Challenge Program on Water and Food aims to improve water management for food production through research partnerships. In the Volta Basin, several research projects contribute to the integrated management of rainwater and small reservoirs to improve livelihoods and reduce poverty. If successful, the projects will develop tools to identify appropriate sites for agricultural interventions, improve rainwater management strategies to benefit crops and livestock, strengthen management of small reservoirs for multiple uses, and enhance governance and coordination across the basin.
This document discusses integrated urban water management (IUWM) as an approach to address water security challenges in cities. IUWM takes a holistic view of the urban water cycle and involves stakeholders across sectors. The document outlines the principles of IUWM, including considering the entire water cycle as one system and integrating social, institutional, geographic, inter-sectoral and governance aspects. Case studies from Durban, Singapore, and Dakar demonstrate benefits of IUWM such as cost savings, job creation, increased water supply and improved sanitation. The document concludes by describing IUWM modules and programs that can be implemented to plan and finance IUWM projects at the city level.

The study aimed to assess surface water and groundwater availability, develop a water balance model, and prepare a water management plan. Key findings include:
1) Surface water was assessed through analysis of rainfall, snowmelt, and proposed/existing dams. Groundwater was assessed through analysis of recharge, budget, and drawdown.
2) Major water consumers like agriculture, people, and livestock were identified and their current and projected water needs estimated.
3) A water balance model was developed to integrate water availability and consumption data for each agency and
- River pollution, urban flooding, and health risks are interconnected issues facing rapidly growing cities. As urban populations and impervious surfaces increase, water quality deteriorates due to inadequate wastewater treatment and increased runoff, while extreme rainfall events exacerbated by climate change raise flooding risks.
- Hydrologic and water quality models were developed to simulate current conditions and project impacts of population growth, climate change, and policy measures in selected cities. Results show that without action, flooding and waterborne diseases will increase substantially by 2030.
- Implementing integrated measures like expanded wastewater treatment, flood control infrastructure, and green infrastructure can significantly reduce flooding and health risks compared to do-nothing scenarios. However, non-structural

AIM - Conservation of water, minimizing wastage and ensuring its more equitable distribution both across and within States through integrated water resources development and management
This document discusses integrated watershed management and rainwater harvesting. It covers several topics:
1. Integrated watershed management involves integrating river basin resources, demands, facilities, human and ecological systems, and science and engineering with social, economic and environmental needs.
2. India has limited land and water resources to support its large population, but integrated watershed development and modeling can help optimize resource use.
3. Water conservation and rainwater harvesting techniques like installing low-flow shower heads and reusing graywater can help ensure sustainable water resources for the future while changing wasteful habits.
Sydney's Water Sustainability | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
Sydney is experiencing long-term droughts, low rainfall and a high demand for water. What can we do to help solve the water crisis? Water restrictions are only a short-term fix. Other solutions are desalination and recycle water plants, water management, and artificial precipitation.
1) The document discusses the concepts of irrigation efficiency and water productivity, noting important distinctions in their definitions, scales of analysis, and limitations.
2) It provides an example from Zhanghe Irrigation District in China where improvements to both on-farm water management and water allocation policies led to increased water productivity while maintaining agricultural output.
3) Key lessons are that strategies to improve water management need to consider perspectives of different water user groups and potential impacts at broader basin scales, and that multiple indicators of water productivity are needed to fully understand complex agricultural systems and trade-offs.

The U.S. Perspective on Problem Formulation for Biopesticides: Shannon BORGESOECD Environment
The seminar on Problem Formulation for the Risk Assessment of Biopesticides stemmed from a previous CRP-sponsored event on Innovating Microbial Pesticide Testing that identified the need for an overarching guidance document to determine when in vivo tests are necessary. Problem Formulation, a common practice in pesticide risk assessment, was highlighted as a useful approach for addressing uncertainties in data requirements for biopesticides.

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.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
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.
