دليل توسيع نطاق أنظمة الري عبارة عن منشور مشترك بين الصندوق ومؤسسة التمويل الدولية بشأن كيفية وضع حلول مبتكرة لتحسين سبل عيش المزارعين أصحاب الحيازات الصغيرة وزيادة إنتاجية المحاصيل وتوسيع نطاق هذه الحلول. 

This paper explores the role of water in Egypt’s food system and the dilemma the country faces: raise food self-sufficiency by allocating freshwater resources from the Nile to food production, or rely on food imports from water-abundant regions worldwide.

يعمل هذا الموجز على زيادة الوعي بأنظمة جمع المياه ويصف تصميم تدخلات جمع المياه. ويهدف إلى إطلاع أصحاب المصلحة على تقييم الطلب على المياه ، والمياه المتاحة للجمع ، واختيار أنظمة جمع  المياه المناسبة.

نحقق في كيفية ارتباط تصورات توافر المياه المادي في الماضي بسلوك الري الحالي للمزارعين.

This collection of data on sustainable land management (SLM) technologies and approaches includes relevant information on different SLM practices, their implementation details, and their ecological and socio-economic benefits and disadvantages.

Investments in irrigation systems have been shown to substantially improve farmers’ productivity, and thus alleviate poverty. This study provides an example of such an investment: the Participatory Small-Scale Irrigation Development Programme. 

Among ecosystems services, freshwater is one of the most fundamental for life. For smallholders, water means the difference between a decent life and poverty, hunger and malnutrition. 

Agriculture and fisheries, the backbone of food security and nutrition for coastal communities and globally, are under threat. 

L’accès des agriculteurs à l’eau est un facteur de développement agricole. Cet accès dépend de plusieurs facteurs, dont des facteurs économiques, politiques, ou encore environnementaux. En effet, les décisions et stratégies adoptées par le gouvernement et les autorités locales permettent à la population, et plus particulièrement aux agriculteurs, de gérer de façon durable et efficace leurs ressources hydriques.

À Madagascar, le cadre législatif du secteur de l’eau agricole a évolué à partir des années 1980. Tout d’abord, en 1990, la reconnaissance de l’importance de la préservation de l’environnement et des ressources naturelles a débouché sur une Charte de l’environnement.

Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is often overlooked as a source of water supply. Yet it holds great potential to address the ever-increasing shortages of water globally. The huge potential of RWH for multiple-use services, such as food production, soil and water conservation and water, sanitation and hygiene, has not been adequately recognized, and certainly not implemented, as a solution for water problems on a wider and larger scale.

 

RWH initiatives are still too scattered and the lessons and results not shared. Policies, legal regulations and government budgets often do not include RWH in integrated water resource management and poverty reduction strategies.
