Download or read book Sustainable Water Management in Smallholder Farming written by Sara Finley and published by CABI. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is critical to all human activities, but access to this crucial resource is increasingly limited by competition and the effects of climate change. In agriculture, water management is key to ensuring good and sustained crop yields, maintaining soil health, and safeguarding the long-term viability of the land. Water management is especially challenging on smallholder farms in resource-poor areas, which tend to be primarily rainfed and thus highly dependent on unreliable rainfall patterns. Sustainable practices can help farmers promote the development of soils, plants and field surfaces to allow maximum retention of water between rains, and encourage the efficient use of each drop of water applied as irrigation. Especially useful for farmers' groups, agricultural extension workers, NGOs, students and researchers working with farmers in dryland areas, this comprehensive yet concise book is a practical and accessible resource for anyone interested in sustainable water management.

Book excerpt: Water is a finite resource that is vital for all life on Earth, including plants, animals, and humans. However, with the growing population and increasing demands for water, it is crucial for us to understand the importance of water conservation. In this subchapter, we will delve into the significance of conserving water and explore ways in which students can contribute to environmental sustainability. Water conservation is the practice of using water wisely and efficiently to reduce unnecessary water usage. It plays a pivotal role in preserving the environment and ensuring a sustainable future. One of the key reasons for conserving water is to protect our ecosystems. Freshwater habitats, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, are home to numerous species of plants and animals. By conserving water, we can maintain the health and integrity of these habitats, supporting biodiversity and preserving delicate ecosystems. Another critical reason for water conservation is the preservation of our natural resources. Freshwater is not an unlimited resource, and it takes a considerable amount of energy and resources to treat and deliver clean water to our homes and communities. By using water efficiently, we can reduce the strain on water treatment facilities and minimize the need for costly infrastructure development, such as new dams or reservoirs. Water conservation also has a direct impact on our daily lives. By using water efficiently, we can save money on our utility bills. Simple changes, such as fixing leaky faucets or taking shorter showers, can significantly reduce water waste and lower our water bills. Additionally, conserving water helps to ensure a reliable water supply for future generations. As the global population continues to grow, it is essential to manage our water resources responsibly to avoid water scarcity and conflicts. Students have a crucial role to play in water conservation and environmental sustainability. By adopting water-saving habits at home and in school, students can set an example and inspire others to do the same. Educating themselves and their peers about the importance of water conservation is vital. Simple actions, such as turning off the tap while brushing teeth, using water-efficient appliances, and collecting rainwater for gardening, can make a significant difference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water, already a scarce resource, is treated as though it were plentiful and free. The task of supplying enough water of the required quality to growing populations is straining authorities and governments to the limit as the economic and environmental costs of new supply sources escalate and wasteful supply, delivery and consumption systems persist. Managing Water as an Economic Resource argues that the root of the crisis is the failure of suppliers and consumers to treat water as a scarce commodity with an economic value. James Winpenny evaluates policies for the improved management of existing demand, and draws on case studies from different countries as he discusses how policies could be implemented to treat water as an economic good conferring major economic, financial and environmental benefits.

This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water – drinkable, usable water – is likely to be one of the most limiting resources in the future, given the growing global population, the high water demand of most agricultural production systems, and the confounding effects of climate change. We need to manage water wisely – efficiently, cost-effectively and equitably – if we are to avoid the calamity of a lack of usable water supply. Forested watersheds provide an estimated 75 percent of the world’s accessible freshwater resources, on which more than half the Earth’s people depend for domestic, agricultural, industrial and environmental purposes. Forests therefore, are vital natural infrastructure, and their management can provide “nature-based solutions” for a range of water-related societal challenges. This edition of Unasylva explores that potential.

Book excerpt: If water resources are to be distributed efficiently, equitably and cost-effectively in this rapidly changing world, then it is clear that current water management practices are no longer feasible. Innovative approaches are required to meet the increasing water demands of a growing world population and economy and the needs of the ecosystems supporting them. New approaches have to be employed at global, national and local levels. In Rethinking Water Management, a new generation of water experts from around the world examine the critical challenges confronting the water profession, including rainwater and groundwater management, recycling and reuse, water rights, transboundary access to water and financing of water. They offer important new perspectives on the use, management and conservation of fresh water, in terms of both quantity and quality, for the domestic, agricultural and industrial sectors, and show how a new set of paradigms can be applied to successfully manage water for the future. Caroline Figueres is Head of the Urban Infrastructure Department at UNESCO-IHE Water Education Institute in The Netherlands.Cecilia Tortajada is Vice President of the Third World Centre for Water Management in Mexico and Vice President-elect of the International Water Resources Association. Johan Rockstr'm is Water Resources Expert at UNESCO-IHE.

Book excerpt: Managing water resources is one of the most pressing challenges of our times - fundamental to how we feed 2 billion more people in coming decades, eliminate poverty, and reverse ecosystem degradation. This Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture, involving more than 700 leading specialists, evaluates current thinking on water and its interplay with agriculture to help chart the way forward. It offers actions for water management and water policy - to ensure more equitable and effective use.This assessment describes key water-food-environment trends that influence our lives today and uses scenarios to explore the consequences of a range of potential investments. It aims to inform investors and policymakers about water and food choices in light of such crucial influences as poverty, ecosystems, governance, and productivity. It covers rainfed agriculture, irrigation, groundwater, marginal-quality water, fisheries, livestock, rice, land, and river basins. Ample tables, graphs, and references make this an invaluable work for practitioners, academics, researchers, and policymakers in water management, agriculture, conservation, and development.Published with IWMI.
