Water resources planning and management requires technical knowledge as well as social and environmental considerations and enabling environment for sustainable and equitable development. In this context, this paper highlights the Digo Jal Bikas project which is using a multi-disciplinary framewo...

The response of any hydrological system to climate change may differ depending on characteristics of the system. Such studies are lacking for basins in Western Nepal. This paper, therefore, argues for a need to re-phrase the context of Western Nepal in more positive light and then analyses how a ...

Soil water management is critical for sustainable crop production, particularly in drought-prone environments. A range of strategies can be used to address spatial (need to improve in-situ infiltration) and temporal (need to improve water holding capacity /storage) to increase soil water availabi...

Whilst irrigation schemes and technologies are extensively promoted in Africa, proper water management guidance for farmers is often lacking. Improper on-farm irrigation management practices lead to poor water distribution, non-uniform crop growth, and disputes in irrigation schemes due to unequa...

Increasing temperatures and declining rainfall patterns as well as increasing frequency of extreme climate events such as droughts and floods are the expected future weather patterns within the tropics. Africa, particularly Southern Africa, is projected to be the region most vulnerable to the imp...


Nhamo, L.Chilonda, Pius[Water and agriculture vulnerability to climate change and adaptive capacity in southern Africa.]Water and agriculture vulnerability to climate change and adaptive capacity in southern Africa.

Humanity is facing an enormous challenge in managing water to secure adequate food production. By the middle of this century, the world�s population is projected to reach 9.1 billion, 34 percent higher than today. Nearly all of this increase will occur in developing countries. In order to respond...

The Water Futures and Solutions Initiative (WFaS) is a cross-sector, collaborative global project. Its objective is to developing scientific evidence and applying systems analysis to help identify water-related policies and management practices that work together consistently across scales and se...
