Mapani, B.Magole, L.Makurira, H.Meck, M.Mkandawire, T.Mul, Marloes L.[Integrated water resources management and infrastructure planning for water security in southern Africa]Integrated water resources management and infrastructure planning for water security in southern Africa

This article reviews and contrasts two approaches that water security researchers employ to advance understanding of the complexity of water-society policy challenges. A prevailing reductionist approach seeks to represent uncertainty through calculable risk, links national GDP tightly to hydro-cl...

Autor: Shah, Tushaar

Since independence, India has emerged as the world’s largest groundwater economy, with annual groundwater use increasing from less than 50 BCM in the 1950s to over 230 BCM today. While this groundwater boom has been the bedrock of India’s agricultural growth, it has also created formidable challe...


Shah, Tushaar[Sustainable groundwater governance: India’s challenge and response]Sustainable groundwater governance: India’s challenge and response

This article investigates water security in Nepal from the perspective of the water-energy-agriculture (food) nexus, focusing on pathways to water security that originate in actions and policies related to other sectors. It identifies promoting development of Nepal’s hydropower potential to provi...
