The document summarizes research on irrigation performance and seasonal changes under permanent raised beds on Vertisol soil in Queensland, Australia. It discusses major agricultural challenges related to land degradation, water scarcity, and inefficient irrigation systems. The objectives are to evaluate irrigation performance of existing permanent raised bed farming systems and identify potential for lateral wetting front infiltration. Data was collected on two farms to measure advance curves, runoff, and soil moisture movement across beds. Results show advance times varied between irrigations due to soil conditions. Irrigation management strategies were found to impact current performance and potential water savings were identified.
Presentation by Sara Namirembe,World Agroforestry Centre, at the 2012 Agriculture and Rural Development Day in Rio de Janiero, Learning Event No. 1, Session 3: A case of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. http://www.agricultureday.org
This document discusses land use policies in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. It notes that both "land sparing" through agricultural intensification and "land sharing" through community participation are needed in multifunctional landscapes. The history of the park involved a colonial top-down approach that polarized communities and led to unsustainable management. Later approaches to sharing, like beekeeping and revenue sharing, were not fully satisfactory. Both incentives for intensification and genuine rights-based approaches at local scales are argued to be important for balancing food and conservation objectives in these types of areas.

Rehabilitation of Salt-Affected Soil Through Residues Incorporation and Its I...CrimsonpublishersMCDA
A two year field study was conducted on a permanent layout to investigate the effect of crop residues (CR) incorporation and P application (0, 40, 80, 120kg P2O5 ha-1) on rehabilitation of saline soil (ECe=4.59 dS m-1; pH=8.38; CaCO3=3.21%; Extractable P=4.07mg kg-1; sandy clay loam) during 2011-12. The experiment was laid out according to split plot design with three replications. Planting of direct seeded rice (DSR) with and without crop residue incorporation @2ton ha-1 were placed in main plots and P application was in sub plots. Data on productive tillers, panicle length, paddy/grain and straw yields was collected. Soil was sampled (0-15cm) before initiation and after the harvest of last crop. On an average of two years, maximum productive tillers (18), panicle length (33), paddy yield (3.26t ha-1) and was produced with P application @ 80kg P2O5 ha-1 along with CR incorporation. Similarly in case of wheat grown after DSR, maximum tillers (17), spike length (17), grain panicle-1 (66) and grain yield (3.56t ha-1) were produced with P application @80kg P2O5 ha-1 along with CR incorporation. Although, the growth and yield contributing parameters with this treatment (80kg P2O5 ha-1+CR) performed statistically equal to 120kg P2O5 ha-1 without CR incorporation during both the years, but on an average of two years, grain yield of DSR and wheat was significantly superior (22 and 24% respectively) than that of higher P rate (120kg ha-1) without CR. Overall, continuous two year CR incorporation further increased (17%) paddy yields during the follow up year of crop harvest. Higher concentration of P, K and Ca2+ in both DSR and wheat plant tissues was found where 80kg P2O5 ha-1 was applied along with CR incorporation or 120kg P2O5 ha-1 alone while Na+ and Mg2+ concentration decreased with CR incorporation and increasing P rate. The soil salinity was decreased and fertility was improved significantly after two years of study.

También muestra que la pobreza está más concentrada en las zonas aguas arriba de las cuencas y que el acceso al riego reduce la probabilidad de pobreza. Finalmente, recomienda abordar la pobreza de manera multifacética y
The document summarizes outputs from the BFPANDES project, which include:
1. Capacity building for students, institutions, and project members through training and dissemination of tools and data.
2. Freely available reports, maps, and baseline data on water issues in the Andes, as well as the AguAAndes policy support system - a web-based tool for understanding impacts of policy options.
3. A survey of 80 water professionals found that soil erosion, agricultural livelihoods, institutional water management, access to water, and payments for ecosystem services were top priorities. Lack of available data and training were barriers to using existing policy support tools.
This document discusses water availability and productivity in the Andes region. It provides context on the heterogeneous nature of the Andes basin and competing demands on land and water resources. It then summarizes baseline data on land use, GDP, irrigation and protected areas. Several key methods are discussed for analyzing water availability, including rainfall and evapotranspiration modeling. Results show areas of water deficit and surplus. Methods for analyzing water productivity through dry matter production are also summarized. The impacts of climate change, land use change, and protected areas on water resources are assessed through modeling.
The document discusses the human impacts on water quality globally and in the Andean region from agricultural, industrial, and urban activities. It notes that land use change affects hydrological processes and downstream water users. Payment for ecosystem services schemes are one way upstream land managers can be paid to provide hydrological services like water quantity, flow regulation, and quality to downstream beneficiaries. However, spatial water quality data and models are less developed than those for water quantity and flow regulation. The document then provides methods to quantify the hydrological value of protected areas and model the human footprint on water supplies to urban areas.
Este documento presenta un modelo para estimar la escasez y el costo de acceso al agua a nivel de cuencas en los Andes, considerando factores ambientales, sociales y económicos. El modelo evalúa la calidad del agua, disponibilidad, demanda y acceso para clasificar la escasez como baja, media o alta. También estima el costo de infraestructura requerida para llevar el agua a usuarios agrícolas y domésticos, considerando parámetros hidráulicos y costos asociados a tuberías
The document discusses climate change and its impacts on water resources and management. It summarizes a presentation on the Climate and Water Programme (CPWC) which started in 2001 to build awareness of climate change impacts and has since 2005 worked on operational responses. It notes that climate change is one of the most fundamental challenges facing humanity and water will be greatly impacted. The IPCC 2007 report projects significant impacts on water resources from climate change by mid-century. Adaptation is a top priority and was discussed at the Copenhagen climate summit, but commitments to mitigation and financing remain uncertain. The document emphasizes the need to mainstream climate change into water management and adaptation strategies.
This document discusses water availability and productivity in the Andes region. It provides context on the heterogeneous nature of the Andes in terms of climate, land use, and competing demands on water resources. It then presents various methods and results from analyzing water availability and productivity at different spatial scales. Key findings include areas of current and potential future water deficit, the influence of dams on water storage and use, impacts of climate and land use change on hydrology, and relationships between water availability/climate factors and agricultural productivity. Complexities and uncertainties in the analyses are also acknowledged.
This document discusses strengthening scientific capacity for water resources management in developing countries facing climate change. It summarizes that developing countries lack capacity to cope with climate impacts and need to build infrastructure. Scientific capacity can be strengthened through well-defined programs involving local stakeholders, appropriate technology, and financial mechanisms with monitoring and evaluation. Such programs provide research funding, equipment, literature access, fieldwork support, training, and dissemination to generate results and inform decision-making.
Este documento resume los efectos del cambio climático en la salud pública según un experto. El cambio climático ha causado un aumento de las temperaturas globales y la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera. Estos cambios amenazan la salud humana a través de olas de calor más frecuentes, enfermedades transmitidas por vectores como la malaria, y desastres relacionados con el clima. El cambio climático también exacerbará las desigualdades sociales y económicas. Se necesitan acciones urgentes a

This document discusses hydroinformatics and its role in addressing climate variability. It begins by noting the increasing variability in climate and need for water management strategies that account for climate uncertainties. Hydroinformatics is then defined as the application of modeling, information and communication technologies, and computer sciences to problems of the aquatic environment. The key roles of hydroinformatics include developing better observation systems, predictive models, analytical methods to handle uncertainty, and changes to design and management practices in light of climate change. Hydroinformatics aims to integrate data, models, and people to support proper water resource management decisions.
The document discusses the global water and food crisis, with several key points:
1. Population growth and increased demand for food and water are straining limited water resources, exacerbating water scarcity in many regions.
2. Analysis of 10 major river basins found four water-related factors influencing poverty levels: water availability, access to water, exposure to water-related hazards, and how effectively water is used and managed.
3. While water scarcity is a concern, it is not always the primary driver of poverty - other social and economic factors also play important roles. Access to water and how water is shared between groups can be more influential on livelihoods than absolute water availability alone.
The document discusses several topics related to water integrity, gender equity, and climate change. It notes that corruption in the water sector puts lives and livelihoods at risk, slows development, and disproportionately affects the poor. It also discusses the costs of corruption, including waste of resources and failure to lead by example. The document argues that billions of dollars of new climate change-related investments will be at high risk of corruption. It advocates for integrating anti-corruption platforms into policy agendas and streamlining corruption and environment policies. Finally, it describes the Water Integrity Network's efforts to advocate for water integrity on a global level through partnerships and country-based activities.

5. Water productivity – the concept
Water productivity (WP) is “the physical mass of production or the
economic value of production measured against gross inflow, net inflow,
depleted water, process depleted water, or available water” (Molden,
1997, SWIM 1). It measures how the systems convert water into goods
and services. The generic equation is:
3 3 Output derived from water use (kg/m 2 or $/m 2 )
Water Productivity (kg/m or $/m ) =
Water input (m 3 /m 2 )
