The document discusses the links between land use and groundwater, noting that while there is a causal chain from need for resources to land use change to groundwater impacts, these links are not deterministic. It provides examples of how land use planning can address groundwater quality and quantity through techniques like limiting land use in hydrogeologically defined zones. Governance instruments at national, regional, and local levels can help implement these techniques through policies, planning, and regulatory frameworks, though there are also legal, institutional, and economic obstacles.

Just in time chances for a holistic approach for land and water governance

Global Water Partnership

1. The document discusses the Cisadane Watershed Multistakeholders Forum in Indonesia and RMI's involvement in promoting a holistic approach to watershed management in the area. 2. It describes RMI's projects on river and biodiversity conservation in the watershed since 2009 and their role in facilitating the watershed forum since 2011. 3. A key benefit of the forum and holistic approach is that it allows different stakeholders to have input, acknowledges their different needs, and leads to more comprehensive management plans that address issues like land rights and education.

Food Security Definition

Global Water Partnership

Food security exists when all people have reliable physical, social, and economic access to sufficient nutritious food to live an active and healthy life. Food security has three key pillars - availability, which examines if coordination of land and water governance improves food availability; access, which looks at if systems and policies enable access to available food; and utilization, which considers if acquired food can be properly used. Any assessment of food security must consider the specific context.

Implementation of AU Assembly Declaration Decl.1 (xiii) Rev.1

Global Water Partnership

The document summarizes the implementation of the AU Assembly Declaration on land issues in Africa. It discusses Africa's commitments to land governance including frameworks, guidelines, and declarations adopted between 2009-2014. It reflects on the 2014 Land Conference in Africa, noting the need to translate frameworks into benefits at the local level and empower communities. Going forward, it emphasizes advocacy, capacity building, partnerships, and institutionalizing the conference to set a common research and policy agenda on African land issues.

Global Water Partnership

This document summarizes the results of a study on whether current land and water governance systems in sub-Saharan Africa are suitable for promoting sustainable and equitable large-scale agricultural investments. The study analyzed systems in 6 countries and found that in all countries, land and water are governed separately without coordination. Within countries, multiple inconsistent property rights regimes exist. The study also found a lack of clarity and enforcement of water access and use rights for investments. It concludes that coordinated land and water governance systems are needed that recognize all rights, have clear planning, pricing, and dispute resolution, and improve legal and institutional reforms and monitoring.

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses integrated natural resource management in South Africa. It notes that while South Africa has comprehensive environmental laws and increasing budgets for management, assessments show many ecosystems are threatened. This is due to a lack of holistic planning, failure to consider resource value, poor coordination, and inadequate local capacity. The document proposes using an ecosystem services approach to integrate natural systems, social needs, and economic factors. It presents a case study applying this framework in UThukela District through tools like social simulation, scenario analysis, and economic incentives to match interventions with drivers of environmental change. Key to success are effective stakeholder consultation, institutional coordination, and an appropriate governance structure.

Development of agricultural irrigated lands in burkina faso

Global Water Partnership

The document discusses agricultural irrigation development in Burkina Faso. It notes that Burkina Faso has developed over 42,973 hectares of irrigated land as of 2013, up from 13,043 hectares in 2000. The irrigation techniques discussed include major irrigation schemes near dams covering over 1,000 hectares each, medium schemes from 20-100 hectares, and small-scale irrigation under 100 hectares using various water sources. Crops grown include rice as well as dry season gardening. The development of irrigated agriculture is aimed to increase food production and farmers' incomes in Burkina Faso.

Coordinating land and water governance in the context of food security

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses the need for coordinated governance of land and water resources to address food security challenges. As population and demand for food increases, business as usual approaches to managing land and water separately will lead to crossing planetary boundaries for water use and loss of agricultural land. Coordinated governance considers land and water as an integrated system and establishes interrelations in their management at various scales from local to national to regional levels. This helps overcome barriers like sectors working in isolation, improves resource use efficiency, and leads to more coherent policies that secure access to both land and water for improved food production.

Community/farmers-led land and water governance - An experience from Nepal

Global Water Partnership

This document discusses community-led land and water governance experiences in Nepal. It finds that farmer-managed irrigation systems irrigate 70% of agricultural land and produce 40% of Nepal's food. However, private land ownership and control of irrigation systems by government bureaucracies have negatively impacted small farmers and food security. The experience of CSRC shows that by supporting land rights and establishing people's organizations, farmers in Nepal have successfully developed local frameworks to manage land and water resources, diversified production, and increased yields over 5 times through small-scale, community-led irrigation projects.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs

Sease

This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints. That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source. The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal. The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata. This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr. The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
