Описание: In this volume water harvesting is presented as a set of approaches which occupy the intermediate position on the water-management spectrum. It provides lessons to promote sustainable development in Sub-Sarahan Africa, where water is an irregular yet necessary commodity, and its availability a major constraint on agriculture.

Описание: The fall of the New Order government in 1998 and the political reform that followed posed substantial challenges for Indonesia’s bureaucracy to continue fulfilling its mandate. This book analyses the process of bureaucratic reform in the irrigation sector. Using irrigation Management Transfer policy as the entry point for analysis, it documents and analyses the irrigation bureaucracy’s ability to sustain its power and prominence in the sector’s development, amidst and against national and international pressures for reform.The book argues that bureaucratic reform in the irrigation sector rather than attempting to change the bureaucracy’s functioning in the image of national and global (good) governance perspectives and priorities, should instead focus on linking the irrigation bureaucracy’s everyday practice more effectively with farmers’ needs and aspirations. Reform efforts of the past decades show that Indonesia’s irrigation sector development cannot be redirected without the irrigation bureaucracy’s knowledge, experience and cooperation, and without strengthening its downward accountability to farmer-irrigators.

Описание: This volume contains a treatise by Frederick Haynes Newell on the subject of American irrigation in the early 1890s, concentrating on water quality and distribution in arid areas. Frederick Haynes Newell (1862 - 1932) was the first Director of the United States Reclamation Service. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in hydrology, especially its developments in theory and methodology. Other notable works by this author include: "Oil Well Drilling" (1888), "Agriculture by Irrigation" (1894), and "Hydrography of the Arid Regions" (1891). Contents include: "Preceding Reports", "Area Irrigated", "Irrigable Area", "Size of Streams", "Relative Run-off", "Fluctuations of Rivers and Lakes", "Nonperiodic Oscillation", "Subsurface Waters", "Cost and Value of Water Supply", "Principal Drainage Basins", "Missouri River Basin", "Location and Area" etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Описание: The countries that make up the MENA region display wide diversity. One of the poorest countries in the world sits alongside two of the wealthiest, whilst the region's natural resources range from immeasurable oil and gas reserves to some of the scantiest natural endowments anywhere in the world. Yet through this diversity runs a common thread: water scarcity. Now, through the impact of human development and climate change, the water resource itself is changing, bringing new risks and increasing the vulnerability of all those dependent on water. Chris Ward and Sandra Ruckstuhl assess the increased challenges now facing the countries of the region, placing particular emphasis on water scarcity and the resultant risks to livelihoods, food security and the environment. They evaluate the risks and reality of climate change in the region, and offer an assessment of the vulnerability of agriculture and livelihoods. In a final section, they explore the options for responding to the new challenges, including policy, institutional, economic and technical measures.
