    SAFE USE OF WASTEWATER IN AGRICULTURE: GOOD PRACTICE EXAMPLES Hiroshan Hettiarachchi Reza Ardakanian, Editors SAFE USE OF WASTEWATER IN AGRICULTURE: GOOD PRACTICE EXAMPLES Hiroshan Hettiarachchi Reza Ardakanian, Editors PREFACE Population growth, rapid urbanisation, more water intense consumption patterns and climate change are intensifying the pressure on freshwater resources. The increasing scarcity of water, combined with other factors such as energy and fertilizers, is driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. Wastewater reuse is an excellent example that naturally explains the importance of integrated management of water, soil and waste, which we define as the Nexus While the information in this book are generally believed to be true and accurate at the approach.

  • Impacts of Out-Migration on Land Management in Mountain Areas of Nepal and Bolivia

Migration to cities and abroad is increasingly leaving behind half families and the elderly. Livelihoods as well as the management of land are affected by a change of labour force, traditional knowledge, remittances and other consequences of migration. In this study we explored how the land and its management is affected by those issues and what are the measures and strategies taken by the population left behind in two sub watersheds of Nepal and Bolivia. The WOCAT mapping methodology was used to assess land management practices and, in combination with a variety of other research methods, it helped to understand the impacts of migration on land degradation and conservation. Preliminary findings reveal negative as well as positive impacts. In Nepal, the main degradation problem found were invasive alien plant species, whereas the overall vegetation and forest had increased and some types of degradation, such as soil erosion or landslides, were even reduced.

Ruling by canal: Governance and system-level design characteristics of large-scale irrigation infrastructure in India and Uzbekistan. Water Alternatives 9(2): 222-249 Ruling by Canal: Governance and System-Level Design Characteristics of Large-Scale Irrigation Infrastructure in India and Uzbekistan Peter P. Mollinga Department of Development Studies, SOAS University of London, London, UK; [email protected] Gert Jan Veldwisch Water Resources Management Group of Wageningen University, Wageningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper explores the relationship between governance regime and large-scale irrigation system design by investigating three cases: 1) protective irrigation design in post-independent South India; 2) canal irrigation system design in Khorezm Province, Uzbekistan, as implemented in the USSR period, and 3) canal design by the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company, as part of an experiment to do canal irrigation development in colonial India on commercial terms in the 1850s-1860s. The mutual shaping of irrigation infrastructure design characteristics on the one hand and management requirements and conditions on the other has been documented primarily at lower, within-system levels of the irrigation systems, notably at the level of division structures. Taking a 'social construction of technology' perspective, the paper analyses the relationship between technological structures and management and governance arrangements at irrigation system level. The paper finds qualitative differences in the infrastructural configuration of the three irrigation systems expressing and facilitating particular forms of governance and rule, differences that matter for management and use, and their effects and impacts.

  • La Experiencia Boliviana De La Política Pública De Cuencas
    Sincronías LA EXPERIENCIA BOLIVIANA DE LA POLÍTICA PÚBLICA DE CUENCAS Sincronías, es un texto que describe el proceso de gestación de la politica de cuencas boliviana a partir de acontecimientos sociales históricos, y a su vez, procesos institucionales de incunvencia pública, acompa- ñados por el accionar de organismos y hechos internacionales coinci- dentes en el tiempo y centrados en la demanda de la gestión del agua. La coexistencia de estos elementos en un periodo identificado más reciente, sin dejar de lado prece- dentes, inspiran a la Agencia Belga de Desarrollo (CTB/Enabel) y a los autores a escribir cuatro interesantes secciones sobre temas entrelazados con el Plan Nacional de Cuencas, que permiten conocer más de cerca los avatares de su concepción y sus proyecciones. La CTB/Enabel, se identifica con éste proceso que marca tendencia nacional y se afinca en el propósito de compartirlo, relevando la impor- tancia de continuar avanzando en el cuidado hídrico-ambiental, bajo el enfoque de la gestión integral de los recursos hidricos y el manejo integral de las cuencas.

  • Technical Assistance and Training for PROCOSI Operations Research Program, Bolivia
    Final Report Technical Assistance and Training for PROCOSI Operations Research Program, Bolivia Fernando Gonzáles S. Ricardo Vernon January 2005 This study was funded by the U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID) under the terms of Cooperative Agreement Number HRN-A-00-98-00012-00 and Population Council In-house project number 8000 13036. The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID. SUMMARY In September 1999, PROCOSI, a network of 24 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide health services, invited the Population Council Frontiers in Reproductive Health Program to provide technical assistance for designing and conducting operations research aimed at increasing the quality and impact of their reproductive health programs. In October 1999, FRONTIERS and PROCOSI held a workshop for designing operations research. Sixteen project proposals were developed at the workshop, and twelve of them were approved for funding during the following months. Also, between March and September 2000, four new projects were developed and approved, making a total of 16 operations research projects. They were originally planned to cover a twelve-month period. However, in practice they spanned a twenty-month period. In the first year of activities, technical assistance for developing and implementing operations research was provided by two FRONTIERS advisors and three national consultants. By the end of the year, consultants were contracted only for specific activities. Each organization required an average of 23 days of technical assistance, not counting the days used for teaching in workshops. In collaboration with PROCOSI, FRONTIERS conducted four training workshops on design of operations research projects, qualitative research methods, utilization and dissemination of research results, and preparing research reports.
