Makin, Ian W.[Irrigation infrastructure for sustainable and improved agricultural productivity. Topic Guide]Irrigation infrastructure for sustainable and improved agricultural productivity. Topic Guide

Irrigated agriculture and inland fisheries both make important contributions to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and wellbeing. Typically, in modern irrigation systems, these components operate independently. Some practices, commonly associated with water use and intensification of crop prod...

MaxFranklin, P.A.Hogan, Z.Koehn, J.D.McCartney, Matthew P.O’Brien, G.Phouthavong, K.Silva, L.G.M.Tob, C.A.Valbo-Jorgensen, J.Vu, A.V.Whiting, L.Wibowo, A.Duncan, P.[Speaking the same language: can the Sustainable Development Goals translate the needs of inland fisheries into irrigation decisions?]Speaking the same language: can the Sustainable Development Goals translate the needs of inland fisheries into irrigation decisions?

Increasing agricultural productivity has always been a prominent feature on the regional agenda due to a high incidence of food and nutrition insecurity. This review assessed the current status of irrigated agriculture in southern Africa from a water–energy–food (WEF) nexus perspective. Gaps and ...

Most cities in developing countries fail to treat their wastewater comprehensively. Consequently, farmers downstream use poor-quality water for irrigation. This practice implies risks for farmers, consumers and the environment. Conversely, this water supply supports the livelihood of these farmer...

When urban areas expand without concomitant increases in wastewater treatment capacity, vast quantities of wastewater are released to surface waters with little or no treatment. Downstream of many urban areas are large areas of irrigated croplands reliant on these same surface water sources. Case...

In many parts of the world, wastewater irrigation has become a common practice because of freshwater scarcity and to increase resource reuse efficiency. Wastewater irrigation has positive impacts on livelihoods and at the same time, it has adverse impacts related to environmental pollution. Hydro...
