Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective irrigation and drainage systems are essential if growing demands for water resources are to be met. For the use of water for irrigation to be improved we must understand current levels of performance. This book draws together the growing body of knowledge on irrigation and drainage performance assessment that has been gained over the last twenty years. It provides guidelines for practitioners to enable them to design and carry out performance assessment and implement performance-based management. Developed by a working group of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) it provides a generic framework for performance assessment with guidance on the theory and practice of how to audit and assess the performance of irrigation and drainage schemes.

Download or read book Evaluation of Participatory Irrigation by Balanced Scorecard written by Doudou Lin and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance measurement plays an important role in managerial control. However, until recently, most of the assessment practices in irrigation scheme have been focused on one-aspect evaluation, mainly field measurement. There is still lack of a comprehensive evaluation framework. Supply Chain Management and its evaluation system have been adopted by many industrial organizations to control the effectiveness and efficiency of product manufacture but seldom on water. In order to evaluate the irrigation performance, this book designs a completely new method by using the Supply Chain Balanced Scorecard approach. Cau Son - Cam Son irrigation scheme in Northern Vietnam has been chosen for field implementation. Considering all the stakeholders including water users judgments, with a view caring for all-round aspects, the results have showed that the new designed framework is a worthwhile tool for the future assessment of irrigation management performance. This book, therefore, should be especially useful for professionals in irrigation or water management, or anyone else who may be considering measuring the overall performance of an irrigation scheme.

This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' well-being than any other human activity. The food industry is the largest sector of our economy; food touches everything from our health to the environment, climate change, economic inequality, and the federal budget. From the earliest developments of agriculture, a major goal has been to attain sufficient foods that provide the energy and the nutrients needed for a healthy, active life. Over time, food production, processing, marketing, and consumption have evolved and become highly complex. The challenges of improving the food system in the 21st century will require systemic approaches that take full account of social, economic, ecological, and evolutionary factors. Policy or business interventions involving a segment of the food system often have consequences beyond the original issue the intervention was meant to address. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System develops an analytical framework for assessing effects associated with the ways in which food is grown, processed, distributed, marketed, retailed, and consumed in the United States. The framework will allow users to recognize effects across the full food system, consider all domains and dimensions of effects, account for systems dynamics and complexities, and choose appropriate methods for analysis. This report provides example applications of the framework based on complex questions that are currently under debate: consumption of a healthy and safe diet, food security, animal welfare, and preserving the environment and its resources. A Framework for Assessing Effects of the Food System describes the U.S. food system and provides a brief history of its evolution into the current system. This report identifies some of the real and potential implications of the current system in terms of its health, environmental, and socioeconomic effects along with a sense for the complexities of the system, potential metrics, and some of the data needs that are required to assess the effects. The overview of the food system and the framework described in this report will be an essential resource for decision makers, researchers, and others to examine the possible impacts of alternative policies or agricultural or food processing practices.
