Increasing
Blue Water Productivity: getting the most out of renewable
water resources.
Improving irrigation management
Adapting
farming practices to increased water scarcity
Enhancing
the safe and productive use of wastewater in irrigated agriculture
Multiple
use systems: single systems for domestic use, agriculture,
aquaculture, agroforestry and livestock.
2.
Increasing
Green Water Productivity: making the most of soil
moisture.
Rainwater harvesting
Supplemental and micro
irrigation
Increased infiltration
and reduced runoff through land and water conservation
3.
Increasing
Access to Water Resources: investing in water resources
developments that are crucial to achieving MDGs in
Africa.
Coping with climate variability requires investment in water
storage, through large and small dams
Farmers are the private
sector and will invest in water and land development, management
and
conservation wherever this is a viable business proposition
Returns to agricultural
water investment increase with access to markets and when
combined with
hydropower, livestock, aquaculture or drinking water
Making an asset out
of wastewater holds the promise to make sanitation affordable
for poor people
4.
Balancing
Water for Food and Other Ecosystem Services: giving
voice to the silent actor.
Securing water for the needs of the environment
Enhancing benefits
in agriculture-wetlands interactions
Manage agricultural
water use sustainably: ignoring environmental impacts can
lead to failed projects
5.
Investing
in Water Security for Poverty Alleviation: targeting
poor areas with pro-poor designs.
Target geographic areas with high concentrations of poverty
and focus on pro-poor project design
Gender-equitable development
boosts productivity
Require ex-ante poverty
impact assessments for water resources investments
