Community/farmers-led land and water governance - An experience from NepalGlobal 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.
This document discusses integrated watershed management and rainwater harvesting in India. It provides an overview of India's water resources and challenges with increasing demand. Watershed development requires proper planning and management using an integrated approach. A case study of the Jhabua watershed project in Madhya Pradesh is presented, which used a three step approach of resource mapping, appropriate technologies, and a management information system. Through community participation and joint forest management, the project achieved increased water levels, higher agricultural productivity, and improved living conditions. Overall, the integrated watershed management approach promotes sustainable development through optimal resource use and local capacity building.

SWaRMA_IRBM_Module1_#1, Principles of IWRM and IRBM: Challenges for the Himal...ICIMOD
The document discusses integrated water resources management (IWRM) and integrated river basin management (IRBM) approaches. It emphasizes that water resources should be managed holistically by considering the interactions between water, land, ecosystems, and human activities across an entire river basin. The document also outlines several key principles of IWRM and IRBM, such as stakeholder participation, treating water as an economic good, and ensuring intergenerational equity when allocating water resources.
The document discusses rural water and sanitation models in India. It proposes a model where waste generated by rural communities is sent to a biogas treatment plant, producing biogas and fertilizer. The biogas is then converted to electricity, which is distributed to nearby villages. This provides rural areas with sanitation facilities and a renewable power source. Water availability can be an issue in rural areas, so portable generators may be used to pump water from bore wells. The model aims to create a sustainable system where waste is used to generate resources like power and fertilizer for the community.
This document outlines a water catchment management plan for the Ndati Mawira region from 2015-2025. The plan aims to prevent further deterioration of water resources, protect ecosystems, promote sustainable water use, reduce pollution and floods/droughts. It establishes a framework to achieve these aims through strategies like eliminating trees from river banks, boosting forest cover, environmental education, water harvesting, and conservation of riparian areas. Major stakeholders involved in implementing the plan are the community, government institutions, NGOs, and private partners. The community in particular plays a key role in financing conservation and implementing existing laws.

Presentation by Peter G. McCornick & Julie van der Bliek at the Water for Food Conference, Seattle, October 19, 2014.
The document discusses water scarcity in urban areas of India. It notes that urban population is growing and will account for 40-50% of the total population by 2030-2050. Available water per capita is declining and will fall below 1000 m3, the international threshold for scarcity. Reasons for scarcity include population growth, limited reuse of water, drainage issues, and lack of conservation awareness. The government has launched programs like Jal Jeevan Mission and AMRUT to boost water supply, storage, and sewage management. Future actions proposed include more efficient water management, reducing losses, wastewater reuse, rainwater harvesting, and awareness campaigns.

Rice is the most consumed cereal in Senegal, accounting for 34% of total cereal consumption. Per capita consumption is 80-90kg annually, though there is an urban-rural divide. While domestic production has doubled between 2010-2021, it still only meets 40% of demand. As a result, Senegal imports around 1 million tons annually, mainly from India and Thailand. Several public policies aim to incentivize domestic production and stabilize prices, though rice remains highly exposed to international price shocks due to its importance in consumption and reliance on imports.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

2. • 13th most water stressed country in the world.
• 60% of irrigated agriculture & 85% of drinking
water supplies dependent on groundwater.
• 70% of water resources is contaminated.
• Water rights attached to land rights.
• Rural-urban inequities; socio-economic
inequities within the village.
Context
4. Water as Commons
• High subtractability and low excludability
• Multiple users and uses (multiple decision makers)
• Multiple resource systems
• Upstream & downstream interactions
5. • High investments on improving surface water supply,
but many communities fail to sustain the benefits over
time.
• Water easily depletes if there is no effective coordination
among users to ensure provision and regulate
withdrawals.
• Blueprint rules introduced in a top-down manner have
not made much impact.
• Research & practice demonstrates that self-governance
by communities can be very effective for sustainable
management of water and other shared natural
resources. But examples of such efforts are limited and
diffused.
What are the innovations we need to bring about to improve water management?

7. Water as Commons
Water as commons:
• One person’s use reduces availability for others
• Low excludability, boundaries difficult to establish
• Fugitive resource—hard to see where it goes
Further challenges of groundwater:
• Low visibility
• Lack of understanding of resource dynamics
• Difficult to identify aquifer boundaries, esp.
in hard rock
• “Traditional knowledge” insufficient with
rapidly developing pumping technology
• State regulation not enough
Need for collective action to manage the resource
8. Community water management
• Technical tools to improve understanding of water resources, but what
motivation to use them?
• Community water management programs often not sustained
• Social innovations
• From “teaching” to “social learning”
9. Experiential Learning
• Can games be used to strengthen collective resource management?
• Offer safe environment to experience
shared challenge
• Simulate several seasons in short time
• Encourage discussion of situation
• Try different institutional arrangements
(Rules)
• Shape “mental models” and
understanding of relationships
(biophysical and social)
Requires understanding of behavior

11. Groundwater game
• Groups of 5 men or women (separately)
• Choose crop
• A takes 1 unit water, gives 2 units money
• B takes 2 units water, gives 3 units money
• 2 units (total) for domestic water
• 7 units recharge
• See effect on water table over multiple “years”
• First set of rounds: no communication, individual
choice
• Second set of rounds: communication allowed
12. Community Debriefing
• Full village invited
• Basics of game described
• Share general game results
• No specifics about individuals
• Small group discussions led by game
participants
• Engage community in discussions
about:
How this relates to own
experiences and challenges farming
Lessons and insights participants
gained from the experience
Possible solutions
13. • Players individually decide on
contributions to dam
maintenance;
• Benefits from dam depend on
total investment of all group
members;
• Dam benefit equally
distributed amongst all
players; OR in sequential order
• Community debriefing.

15. • As part of the Scaling up Experiential Learning Tools for Sustainable Water Governance in India, we plan to rollout
the experiential learning package in the five states directly and indirectly through partner organizations between
2020 and 2023.
• Between 2020 and 2022 we rolled out the full package of experiential learning tools in 926 communities directly
and 651 communities indirectly

• Water sharing
• De-linking land rights and water rights
• Federation to discuss upstream-
downstream issues
• Evolving decisions based on water
numeracy
17. Importance of follow up tools-
Crop Water Budgeting
• Demand side water management strategy
• CWB helps in the Estimation of total water requirement and
water available and help farmers in planning for crops.
• Though effective, it’s uptake among communities has been low
owing to the technical complexities in estimation.
• Our approach to CWB has been to place community at the
center (from data collection to estimation and communication)
and use it as tool that aids communities in making informed
decisions.
• CWB tool developed as an easy-to-use Android based
application) and generates actionable information
• Focuses on conjunctive use of water- both Surface water and
Ground water.
• Rabi crop planning.

19. Data Collection
• Rainfall data
• Recharge Potential from GEC norms
Secondary Data (in-built
in app)
• Information about surface and ground
water sources in kharif and Rabi
• Details of Crops grown, irrigation(pumping
house, irrigation required etc.)
Primary Data Collection
through community
participation
21. Communication and Planning- Crop Water
Budgeting Dashboard and Discussion
• Prepared & presented before the community
• Along with CWB estimation Rainfall pattern, cropping
pattern, crop wise irrigation requirement, access to
irrigation etc. are included in the dashboard
• Help in triggering the discussion around water & crops
amongst the community
• If there is a deficit in water availability for the present
cropping plan, the community members discuss
possible crop changes to avert the situation of water
deficit. The exercise generates debate and discussion
on water as a collective resource and the need for
better governance.
25. Backdrop
• Bathnigaripalle is a village in Gurramvandlapalle
Panchayat of Peddmanyam Mandal in
Annamayya district (erstwhile Chittoor).
• Village has 66 households, 550 Acres of total
geographical area.
• Major sources of livelihood - Agriculture,
Livestock, Wage labour, NTFP collection, …
• Major crops – Groundnut, Tomato, vegetables
• Challenges - frequent droughts, withering of
crops due to inadequate rainfall, changing crop
profiles, falling income from agriculture
• Institutional presence - Bathinigaripalle Vana
Samrakshana Samiti
27. Involving community to trace the resource usage and dependency using -
Trend Line as a tool
• Climatic factors
• Shifting cropping patterns
• Changes in the surface and sub
surface water resources
• Role of external factors like -
Market, Technology, financial
considerations
• ‘Where did we go wrong’ and “
Way forward”
28. Using the advanced GIS tools to map Hydrological flows
• Recharge zones, discharge zones
• Bore wells are close to each other
• Securing recharge zones
29. Water game – a platform for community for collective action
• Has made the ground water from invisible
resource to visible resource.
• An awareness that individual extraction behavior
has an impact on the availability of the resource
for the rest.
• Optimal usage of the resource usage is liked with
cropping choices that are made.
• An awareness that water as resource has
multiple usages – Domestic use, Agriculture,
Livestock etc.
• A need for a commonly agreed rules for
governance the resource.
• At the end evolved the idea of “Groundwater as
Commons”
30. Tools for Ecological Threshold: Crop water Budgeting
Restoration: Consumption less than recharge, to increase
storage and raise groundwater levels
Balance and Buffer: Match consumption to recharge to
stop depletion. Draw down reserves in dry years and
replenish in wet years.
Steady Depletion: Manage drawdown of groundwater
stocks to increase lifetime and productivity.
Race to the Bottom: Uncoordinated scramble. Whoever
has deeper well and bigger pump grabs more benefits.
