Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is meant to present a framework for analyzing the institutions related to water management in a river basin context. The design of the five-country regional study undertaken by IWMI on “Development of Effective Water Management Institutions” provided a new methodology and a framework for river basin studies. It consists of four key components of diagnostic investigations related to water resources management in a river basin, which are interrelated. These key components are the physical system, water accounting, socioeconomic situation and performance. This study design is given in the Study’s Inception Report of 15 June 1999, and the Methodological Guidelines of 1 October 1999. This document takes one step further, and provides a conceptual framework for analyzing the institutional framework for water resources management in a river basin. The major thrust of this framework for institutional analysis is that the four key areas of diagnostic studies in a river basin are shown to be closely linked to the institutional frame work for integrated water resources management in the context of a river basin.

This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report first describes the context of the agriculture sector in Libya and in the south of the country, the impact of the ongoing conflict in the country since 2011 and of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specific configuration of the sectors in the south of the country. Secondly, it describes the main challenges in the value chains and added value of selected major crops cultivated in the south of Libya, providing an analysis and assessment of the cooperatives and associations in the region with significant involvement and participation of women. This publication presents a holistics analysis and assessment of the value chains in Libya, particularly in the South where various agricultural crops are produced, including cereals and grains, fruits, and vegetables. The majority of the area cultivated for these agricultural commodities was given over to vegetables in Wahat (57 percent of this area), Murzuq (57 percent), Ubari (42 percent) and Wadi Etba (57 percent). The majority was used for fruits in Albwanis (88 percent), Kufra (70 percent), Sabha (74 percent) and Sharqiya (64 percent). Finally, the majority was used for cereals and grains in Ghat (59 percent), Qatrun (79 percent), Traghan (61 percent) and Wadi Shati (52 percent). In addition to the significant area cultivated and significant quantities produced of these selected crops in the region, this publication, based on the data gathered on agricultural production, alongside certain other factors and reasons, 16 crops have been selected for the evaluation and characterization of their value chains and added value.

This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, indigenous irrigation in many countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America has been managed quite well by water users, who design, build, operate, and maintain often sophisticated, but usually small-scale, systems. More recently, in connection with large-scale development programs and government-managed schemes, the planned introduct
Download or read book Organizational aspects of improved irrigation management an experiment in Dewahuwa Tank Sri Lanka written by Ekanayake, R. and published by IWMI. This book was released on 1990-01-01 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of several IIMI publications addressing the issue of irrigation management to promote diversified crops during the dry season. As Sri Lanka approaches self-sufficiency in rice production, a target already achieved by some other countries in the region, there is little logic in growing rice using land and water resources which could support higher- value non-rice crops, using less water. Thus, one of the incentives in improving irrigation management is to find ways of stretching water further during the dry season in water-deficit systems, when rice is relatively more expensive to grow than during the wet season, and when other crops which can be grown only during the dry season (when there is less danger of water-logging) offer the farmer and the country a comparative advantage.
Download or read book Land Tenure and Rural Development written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by FAO. This book was released on 2002 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.

This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of the World's Land and Water Resources for Food and Agriculture is FAO's first flagship publication on the global status of land and water resources. It is an 'advocacy' report, to be published every three to five years, and targeted at senior level decision makers in agriculture as well as in other sectors. SOLAW is aimed at sensitizing its target audience on the status of land resources at global and regional levels and FAO's viewpoint on appropriate recommendations for policy formulation. SOLAW focuses on these key dimensions of analysis: (i) quantity, quality of land and water resources, (ii) the rate of use and sustainable management of these resources in the context of relevant socio-economic driving factors and concerns, including food security and poverty, and climate change. This is the first time that a global, baseline status report on land and water resources has been made. It is based on several global spatial databases (e.g. land suitability for agriculture, land use and management, land and water degradation and depletion) for which FAO is the world-recognized data source. Topical and emerging issues on land and water are dealt with in an integrated rather than sectoral manner. The implications of the status and trends are used to advocate remedial interventions which are tailored to major farming systems within different geographic regions.

Book excerpt: All the irrigation projects designed within the past fifty years by the Lebanese Government have been based on maintaining the actual size and shape of land ownership and on providing water on a rotation or a free demand basis. New criteria are proposed to improve the performance of these irrigation systems. These are land consolidation and supply of water on modified demand basis. To evaluate the effectiveness of these criteria and their comparative advantage over the old previously adopted ones, an irrigation project that is presently being operated on the basis of the old criteria was chosen. This system is the Kasmiyeh-Ras Al Ain irrigation project (KRA). This presently consists of a diversion on the Litani River and a main canal but has no secondary distribution system. The present study consists of simulating the implementation of a land consolidation program and comparing between projects designed on the basis of modified demand and those following the traditional approach. Three alterative concepts for conveyance and distribution were studied. These consisted of: i. Maintaining the existing main canal and distributing water in open channel secondaries and tertiaries; ii. Maintaining the existing canal and using a pressurized pipe distribution system; iii. Replacing the main canal by a pressurized conduit within a completely pressurized distribution system. These alternatives were compared on the basis of initial investment and annual costs, and on the basis of technical and environmental characteristics. The most appropriate one was then compared to the existing system with the addition of a distribution network. The completely pressurized system with the consolidated land ownership was shown to be more suitable if a new system were to be designed for the project area. However for actual rehabilitation of the project, and because the main canal already exists, water conveyance in this channel will be maintained and only a pressurized water distribution system will be added. Pressure will be provided by local pumping stations along the main canal. The environmental impact of the project on the region is relatively mild; it leads to modifications in the ecosystem that are already present because the area was previously irrigated.
Download or read book Land Tenure in the Colonies written by V. Liversage and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1945 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1945, this book provides an examination of the nature of land tenure in the 'colonial territories'. Examples from across the globe are used to provide a practical guide to systems of tenure and their relationship with European influences. An understanding of this is presented as being of fundamental importance to the future of the colonies. As noted in the foreword, 'It is not too much to say that colonial territories will be made or marred for generations by the actions of the tutelary powers within the next decade or two.' This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in land tenure and colonial history.
