Download or read book Road Map to Scale Up Solar Irrigation Pumps in Bangladesh (2023–2031) written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This road map shows how Bangladesh can swap diesel irrigation pumps for solar powered systems to reduce fuel imports, increase farmers’ incomes, and support the country’s clean energy transition. It provides guidelines for the installation of up to 45,000 solar irrigation pumps, which could cut annual diesel consumption by 300,000 tons. The plan would support 1.3 million farmers and give them the chance to sell surplus electricity. Setting out financing proposals, the publication explains how the zero-carbon pumps can drive more sustainable groundwater use, reduce poverty and inequality, and help Bangladesh better adapt to the growing impacts of climate change.
Book Synopsis Does Renewable Energy Increase Farmers' Well-being? by : Monzur Hossain
Download or read book Does Renewable Energy Increase Farmers' Well-being? written by Monzur Hossain and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an alternative clean and climate-friendly energy source, renewable energy has gained increased importance in government policies, in particular regarding the use of sun power to operate irrigation projects. Researchers have found solar-power-based irrigation projects to be reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective, with higher rates of return, and recent studies have mostly focused on these outcomes. In the effort to ensure maximum electricity coverage in off-grid regions by 2041 and to achieve the global agenda of SDG 7, the Government of Bangladesh has recently prepared a draft policy to purchase unconsumed or surplus electricity from solar-run irrigation pumps (SIPs) across the country with the aim of promoting renewable energy, which further laid down the motivation for understanding the impacts of such interventions from the point of view of beneficiaries' well-being. Therefore, this paper particularly looks at the beneficial impacts of solar-powered irrigation using a recent survey of 1,000 solar-powered irrigation user and non-user farming households in selected regions of Bangladesh. Our regression results suggest that solar irrigation facilitates an adequate water supply and reduces the cost of production. However, the IV regression results suggest that SIPs do not significantly increase the agricultural return across all the seasons or plots. Overall, SIP adoption ensures reliability of the water supply (i.e., water adequacy) in addition to accessibility and affordability, implying longer-term implications for farmers' well-being.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Deployment of Solar Irrigation Pumps by : Shalu Agrawal
Download or read book Sustainable Deployment of Solar Irrigation Pumps written by Shalu Agrawal and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provision of energy for irrigation in a sustainable manner has become critical to the global food and livelihood security, particularly in the context of increasing fresh water scarcity and the risks associated with climate change. In this context, solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) have emerged as a promising alternative to diesel and electricity powered pump sets, particularly in developing countries. But, in view of the fiscal, environmental and socio-economic fallouts of past irrigation strategies, how can it be ensured that SIPs are deployed in a sustainable manner?Based on a detailed literature review and semi-structured interviews of key stakeholders, we identify and discuss 14 factors, which would determine whether the use of SIPs in a given context is economically viable, socially acceptable and environmental sustainable. Drawing from the best practices and experiences in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, we also put forward key recommendations to incorporate sustainability concerns in the policies and programmes for SIPs deployment.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Development in Bangladesh by : Maliha Muzammil
Download or read book The Political Economy of Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Development in Bangladesh written by Maliha Muzammil and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents a political economy analysis of Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Development (LCCRD) through the Solar Home System (SHS) and Solar Irrigation Pumps (SIP) programs in the energy and agriculture sectors and in doing so assesses their contribution to the broader development trajectory of Bangladesh. LCCRD involves implementing adaptation, mitigation and development simultaneously in order to benefit from 'triple wins'. A qualitative case study approach enabled a detailed analysis of the institutional and financial mechanisms; benefits and trade-offs from the programs and studied the discourses and narratives related to LCCRD in Bangladesh. The programs delivered triple wins but the benefits from adaptation, mitigation and development were not derived equally. The SHS program contributed to building adaptive capacity, reducing vulnerability and advancing human development benefits at the local level. However, the program only contributed marginally to the renewable energy mix and the mitigation goals of Bangladesh. Energy access through SHS was not necessarily pro poor. Besides providing energy access for irrigation in off grid areas, the SIP program also contributed to adaptation, mitigation and a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies along with contributing to human development benefits to a large extent. Although there was a trickledown effect of the funds, the implementing organisations benefitted more from accessing climate finance than the farmer beneficiaries using the service. Previous research on expected 'triple wins' from the programs do not take into account how peripheral they are to the broader development trajectory of Bangladesh which is now focused on less clean forms of energy generation for economic growth. In contributing to the current 'triple wins' discourse in Bangladesh, this study provides a more realistic account regarding the prospects of LCCRD. However, the space for 'triple wins' could be enlarged if the programs are redesigned specifically to contribute to pro-poor adaptation, mitigation and development.

Book Synopsis Alternatives to Privatization by : David A. McDonald
Download or read book Alternatives to Privatization written by David A. McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a vast literature for and against privatizing public services. Those who are against privatization are often confronted with the objection that they present no alternative. This book takes up that challenge by establishing theoretical models for what does (and does not) constitute an alternative to privatization, and what might make them ‘successful’, backed up by a comprehensive set of empirical data on public services initiatives in over 40 countries. This is the first such global survey of its kind, providing a rigorous and robust platform for evaluating different alternatives and allowing for comparisons across regions and sectors. The book helps to conceptualize and evaluate what has become an important and widespread movement for better public services in the global South. The contributors explore historical, existing and proposed non-commercialized alternatives for primary health, water/sanitation and electricity. The objectives of the research have been to develop conceptual and methodological frameworks for identifying and analyzing alternatives to privatization, and testing these models against actually existing alternatives on the ground in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Information of this type is urgently required for practitioners and analysts, both of whom are seeking reliable knowledge on what kind of public models work, how transferable they are from one place to another and what their main strengths and weaknesses are.
Book Synopsis Solar Water Pumping by : Robert Foster
Download or read book Solar Water Pumping written by Robert Foster and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pumping water is a universal need and a major energy challenge, especially where electrical service is absent, expensive or unreliable. Water demands are greatest when the sun shines most intensely. Could there be a better power source for pumping, than the sunshine itself? Over a million solar pumps are already in use for irrigation, livestock, pond and stream management, water treatment, homes and communities, emergency relief, government and recreational facilities, and more. They are rapidly replacing hand pumps, engines, windmills, and even public grid power. To succeed, designers, suppliers, funders and owners need to understand the unique aspects of this technology. This comprehensive and unique volume fills a major gap in the literature on this rapidly-growing industry. Three pioneering authors share over 80 years of combined solar pumping experience in private, public and educational sectors. They describe the theory and practice of solar pumping, including small, medium and large scale approaches, for the developing and the developed world. The book covers solar power, pump and control technologies, system sizing and design, storage and back-up, installation, operation and maintenance, and remote connectivity. It presents accessibility solutions for small farms and villages, as well as advice for involving communities, business, NGOs and financial institutions, based on the diverse experience of the authors. Examples with full colour illustrations and photos are included throughout. Real world case studies are presented from around the world, including Africa, Asia and the US, plus a ten-year follow-up study of more than 200 systems in Mexico. Overall, the volume will serve as a standard reference for years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume focuses on the characterization, reclamation, bioremediation, and phytoremediation of salt affected soils and waterlogged sodic soils. Innovative technologies in managing marginal salt affected lands merit immediate attention in the light of climate change and its impact on crop productivity and environment. The decision-making process related to reclamation and management of vast areas of salt affected soils encompasses consideration of economic viability, environmental sustainability, and social acceptability of different approaches. The chapters in this book highlight the significant environmental and social impacts of different ameliorative techniques used to manage salt affected soils. Readers will discover new knowledge on the distribution, reactions, changes in bio-chemical properties and microbial ecology of salt affected soils through case studies exploring Indian soils. The contributions presented by experts shed new light on techniques such as the restoration of degraded lands by growing halophyte plant species, diversification of crops and introduction of microbes for remediation of salt infested soils, and the use of fluorescent pseudomonads for enhancing crop yields.
