Synopsis (short abstract) Dendropower is electricity generated from woodfuels. Modern technology allows for efficient, clean and sustainable use of wood for dendropower, as has been demonstrated in several industrialised countries. In the early 1980's experiences with dendropower in Asia were disappointing for a variety of reasons. However, in the last 15 years a lot has changed which calls for a fresh look at the options for dendropower in Asia. An expert consultation convened by RWEDP in Manila, Philippines, April 1998, reviewed and analyzed the options for dendropower. The experts in Manila discussed these options, and came up with a set of recommendations for the development of dendropower in Asia which are part of this document.

    The FAO Expert Consultation was attended by 19 participants, including national fisheries and irrigation experts from 10 countries: China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. The presence of irrigation experts made possible close interaction on common problems, especially in areas where fisheries interests in water resources have been in conflict with demands from irrigated agriculture. The presentation of thirteen papers was followed by discus sions which addressed the following: the present use of irrigation systems, including drainage waters, for fish production; current fishery management practices in irrigation systems; constraints to improving fish production in these systems; fish biodiversity, fish stock enhancement, efficiency of the existing fishery laws and regulations, trans-boundary aspects of fish stock management, regional and sub-regional collaboration, and some other areas of interest for fisheries in irrigation system s of the arid zone of Asia. The Expert Consultation concluded with a set of recommendations and proposals for further action. This Report is a companion to the FAO Fisheries Technical Paper No. 430 “Fisheries in irrigation systems of arid Asia”.
