Mapani, B.Meck, M.Makurira, H.Magole, L.Mashauri, D.Mazvimavi, D.Mul, Marloes L.[Water: the conveyor belt for sustainable livelihoods and economic development]Water: the conveyor belt for sustainable livelihoods and economic development

There is an ongoing debate on what constitutes sustainable intensification of agriculture (SIA). In this paper, we propose that a paradigm for sustainable intensification can be defined and translated into an operational framework for agricultural development. We argue that this paradigm must now...


Rockström, JohanWilliams, J.Daily, G.Noble, A.D.Matthews, NathanielGordon, L.Wetterstrand, H.DeClerck, Fabrice A.J.Shah, M.Steduto, P.Fraiture, Charlotte deHatibu, N.Unver, O.Bird, JeremySibanda, Lindiwe MajeleSmith, J.[Sustainable intensification of agriculture for human prosperity and global sustainability]Sustainable intensification of agriculture for human prosperity and global sustainability

Groundwater management practices need to take hydrogeology, the agro-climate and demand for groundwater into account. Since agroclimatic zones have already been demarcated by the Government of India, it would aid policy makers to understand the status of groundwater recharge and discharge in each...


Chinnasamy, PennanMaheshwari, B.Prathapar, Sanmugam A.[Understanding groundwater storage changes and recharge in Rajasthan, India through remote sensing]Understanding groundwater storage changes and recharge in Rajasthan, India through remote sensing

This study examines the socioeconomic features that underpin the expansion of groundwater-dependent irrigation in Northern State, Sudan. Groundwater development in the region serves as an economic lifeline given the poor Nile-based irrigation infrastructure and future changes in Nile hydrology. G...


Fragaszy, S.Closas, Alvar[Cultivating the desert: irrigation expansion and groundwater abstraction in northern state, Sudan]Cultivating the desert: irrigation expansion and groundwater abstraction in northern state, Sudan

This study looks at the groundwater issues in the dry zone of Sri Lanka and shows how the use of remote sensing with high-resolution images can help in groundwater management. A new approach is developed for automatic extraction of the location of agrowells using high-spatial-resolution satellite...


Sood, AdityaManthrithilake, HerathSiddiqui, SalmanRajah, AmeerPathmarajah, S.[Managing shallow aquifers in the dry zone of Sri Lanka]Managing shallow aquifers in the dry zone of Sri Lanka

Groundwater quality receives increasing attention in water management in India. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the emerging issues of groundwater quality in the Ramganga Sub-Basin (RSB), a tributary joining the Ganga River from the northern plains, which extends over 30,839 Sq. km and ...

This paper examines the nexus between milk production and water use in India. The nexus is examined in the context of extended consumptive water use (CWU) of milk production beyond drinking water. It includes the real CWU (evapotranspiration (ETa) that occurs during the production of green fodder...


Amarasinghe, Upali A.Shah, TushaarSmakhtin, Vladimir U.[Water-milk nexus in India: a path to a sustainable water future?]Water-milk nexus in India: a path to a sustainable water future?

The management of water resources according to hydrological boundaries at different implementation levels (river basin, irrigation system, or water user association) is promoted internationally. This approach to water management, especially for the basin, is starting to be challenged from differe...


Wegerich, KaiKazbekov, Jusipbek S.Mukhamedova, N.Musayev, S.[Is it possible to shift to hydrological boundaries?: the Ferghana Valley meshed system.]Is it possible to shift to hydrological boundaries?: the Ferghana Valley meshed system.

Groundwater development across much of sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by a lack of knowledge on the suitability of aquifers for borehole construction. The main objective of this study was to map groundwater potential at the country-scale for Ghana to identify locations for developing new suppl...


Gumma, Murali K.Pavelic, Paul[Mapping of groundwater potential zones across Ghana using remote sensing, geographic information systems, and spatial modeling.]Mapping of groundwater potential zones across Ghana using remote sensing, geographic information systems, and spatial modeling.

This paper tells the story of trade-off between hydropower and irrigation and its implications for groundwater use in Syrdarya basin in Central Asia. With the independence of the central Asian republics, this trade-off has become a transboundary issue. Efforts to coordinate bilateral action using...
