This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book's four Parts, the interdisciplinary approach to many issues contributes to the relationship between water and poverty. Part I includes articles on the conceptual and methodological issues concerning poverty reduction through water resources development. It also offers analysis of quantitative measurements of poverty reduction, including some approaches for creating a Water Poverty Index. Part II considers the institutional frameworks for management of water and poverty reduction. Topics range from community-based decision making to international leadership. Part III encompasses discussions on participatory irrigation management and the privatization of urban water supplies and sewerage and the link to poverty. Case studies from India, Turkey, and Jordan make up Part IV. The studies present diverse water management and development practices for poverty reduction, including realistic pricing and effective irrigation practices, the use of water as an engine for sustainable development, small and large scale strategies for reducing the risks and uncertainties in water availability and food security, the economic value of improved water supplies, and the positive impact of small-scale development projects.

Download or read book Water Scarcity, Livelihoods and Food Security written by Larry W. Harrington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews the evolution of ten years’ learning and discovery about water scarcity, livelihoods, and food security within the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food. It draws on the experiences of over 100 projects conducted in ten river basins in the developing world. The book describes how the program’s design evolved from an emphasis on water scarcity, water productivity, and water access to an emphasis on using water innovations to improve livelihoods and address development challenges in specific river basins. It shows how the research was used to foster change in stakeholder behavior, linking it to improved knowledge, attitudes, and skills, which were fostered by stakeholder participation, innovation, dialogue, and negotiation. The authors describe development challenges, their drivers and their political context, how to address them through technical, institutional, and policy innovations; and the consequences of change at different scales, time frames on equity, resilience, and ecosystem services. Overall, the work represents a major synthesis and landmark publication for all concerned with water resource management and sustainable development.

Download or read book Rural Water Systems for Multiple Uses and Livelihood Security written by M. Dinesh Kumar and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural Water Systems for Multiple Uses and Livelihood Security covers the technological, institutional, and policy choices for building rural water supply systems that are sustainable from physical, economic, and ecological points-of-view in developing countries. While there is abundant theoretical discourse on designing village water supply schemes as multiple use systems, there is too little understanding of the type of water needs in rural households, how they vary across socio-economic and climatic settings, the extent to which these needs are met by the existing single use water supply schemes, and what mechanisms exist to take care of unmet demands. The case studies presented in the book from different agro ecological regions quantify these benefits under different agro ecological settings, also examining the economic and environmental trade-offs in maximizing benefits. This book demonstrates how various physical and socio-economic processes alter the hydrology of tanks in rural settings, thereby affecting their performance, also including quantitative criteria that can be used to select tanks suitable for rehabilitation. Covers interdisciplinary topics deftly interwoven in the rural context of varying geo-climatic and socioeconomic situations of people in developing areas Presents methodologies for quantifying the multiple water use benefits from wetlands and case studies from different agro ecologies using these methodologies to help frame appropriate policies Provides analysis of the climatic and socioeconomic factors responsible for changes in hydrology of multiple use wetlands in order to help target multiple use water bodies for rehabilitation Includes implementable models for converting single use water supply systems into multiple use systems

Download or read book Water Security written by The World Economic Forum Water Initiative and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-02-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is on the brink of the greatest crisis it has ever faced: a spiraling lack of fresh water. Groundwater is drying up, even as water demands for food production, for energy, and for manufacturing are surging. Water is already emerging as a headline geopolitical issue—and worsening water security will soon have dire consequences in many parts of the global economic system. Directed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at the 2008 Davos Annual Meeting, the World Economic Forum assembled the world’s foremost group of public, private, non-governmental-organization and academic experts to examine the water crisis issue from all perspectives. The result of their work is this forecast—a stark, non-technical overview of where we will be by 2025 if we take a business-as-usual approach to (mis)managing our water resources. The findings are shocking. Perhaps equally stunning are the potential solutions and the recommendations that the group presents. All are included in this landmark publication. Water Security contains compelling commentary from leading decision-makers, past and present. The commentary is supported by analysis from leading academics of how the world economy will be affected if world leaders cannot agree on solutions. The book suggests how business and politics need to manage the energy-food-water-climate axis as leaders negotiate the details of the climate regime that replace Kyoto Protocols.

Book excerpt: According to World Health Organization (WHO), water security has been de¬scribed as "when all people at all times have both physical and economic access to sufficient water to meet their daily needs, and this translates to productive and healthy life". Globally, water is considered as a key physical resource that plays a huge role in improving the pace of general development of a country. Studies have shown that having sustainable water supply system is one way of alleviating poverty and promoting economic growth of a country. Therefore, water security is an essential aspect of livelihood in any part of the world. Considering the growing world population, water resources are significantly decreasing day by day. It has been estimated that the total world population by 2025 will have grown by additional 2.6 billion from the current population. As the population increases, so does the demand for water. Therefore, without ini¬tiative taken to solve various issues on water security in most parts of the world, it is expected in future that more than half of the current world population will lack access to safe and clean water for various daily activities.At the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting that was held in Davos-Klosters in 2008, different business leaders set out a "Call to Action on Water". Their main goal was to raise awareness in order to develop a better understanding of how water is associated with economic growth across a nexus of issues. This was also to make clear the water security challenges expected to be faced by 2030 especially if a business as usual approach to water management was to be maintained.Water security challenges experienced in different parts of the world, togeth¬er with an intensified severity in droughts and flood events which are mainly brought by change in climate are urgent calls for better water risks manage¬ment. These include management in water shortages, water pollution, and other risks to freshwater systems (lakes, rivers, and aquifers). The main idea is to adopt an appropriate approach that will help in knowing, targeting, and manag¬ing various risks and threats of water. This book contains 10 Chapters that discuss different topics on water security locally and internationally. Some of the key topics discussed under these chap¬ters include introduction to water security, sustainable water supply, Integrated Water Resources Management and poverty reduction, ecosystem and water quality, water pollution, water quality protection, benefits of reusing reclaimed water, harvesting and storage of rainwater, seawater desalination, and solutions to water security challenges in the world. The issue of maintenance and management of water supply systems remains one of the key aspects of ensuring that there is water security all time. That is why the concept of integrated water resource management has been discussed widely in this book. Another key aspect that has been discussed entirely in this book is access to adequate safe and clean water for all. This is because it is a fundamental human right to have access to clean and safe water for all. The collection efforts that was put in preparation of this book may not serve as a complete picture of the myriad dimensions of water security, but they reflect some of the difficulties and tensions faced by science in accommodating the idea of water security (based on principles, perspectives, and practice), espe¬cially while navigating various economic, political, social, and environmental demand and concerns for sometimes scarce and usually highly variable water resource.

Download or read book Water, Food and Poverty in River Basins written by Myles Fisher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional wisdom says that the world is heading for a major water crisis. By 2050, global population will increase from 7 billion to a staggering 9.5 billion and the demands this will place on food and water systems will inevitably push river basins over the edge. The findings from this book present a different picture. While it is convenient to visualize an inevitable global water and food crisis in which increasing demands result in increasing poverty, food insecurity and conflict, the reality is far more nuanced and revolves around the politics of equitable and sustainable development of resources. The first part of this book provides detailed insight into conditions of water flows within nine river basins. In the second part, authors summarize and re-analyze the outcome of the nine basins, providing a coherent global picture of water, water productivity and development. They assess the impacts of variations of these attributes on development and approaches for poverty alleviation, and explore the institutional factors that support or obstruct change. How people will manage river systems while protecting vital ecosystem functions will make the difference between catastrophe and survival. As Prof Asit Biswas points out, "... the world is facing a water crisis not because of physical scarcity of water but because of poor management practices in nearly all countries of the world." The book is based on the four years (2006-2010) of extensive research into the state of ten of the world’s major river basins carried out under the CGIAR Challenge Program for Water and Food’s Basin Focal Project. This book was published as a special issue of Water International.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people actively engaged in India's water sector would deny that the Indian subcontinent faces serious problems in the sustainable use and management of water resources. Water resources in India have been subjected to tremendous pressures from increasing population, urbanization, industrialization, and modern agricultural methods. The inadequate access to clean drinking water, increase in water related disasters such as floods and droughts, vulnerability to climate change and competition for the resource amongst different sectors and the region poses immense pressures for sustainability of water systems and humanity. Water Security in India addresses these issues head on, analyzing the challenges that contemporary India faces if it is to create a water-secure world, and providing a hopeful, though guarded, road-map to a future in which India's life-giving and life-sustaining fresh water resources are safe, clean, plentiful, and available to all, secured for the people in a peaceful and ecologically sustainable manner.
