Book (stand-alone)IPTRID No.7 Modernizing Irrigated Agriculture in the Near East 2009
Also available in:
The Near East is one of the most water scarce regions in the world. Water resources were mobilized only recently. There was a rapid irrigation development but also problematic sharing of the water resources leading to political tension and mobilizing the international community. This document describes the efforts carried out by the French cooperation from 1993 to 2007 through the Regional Mission for Water and Agriculture (MREA). The originality of the approach, based on action research , in contact with the field, is described here with concrete cases: support for the upgrading of the Jordan Valley Irrigation system, improving distribution at plot level, economic value of food production, wastewater reuse in Gaza and water balance at basin level. An assessment of the Mission completed by a Rapid Appraisal Procedure of FAO had confirmed that a margin of progress is possible in the management of irrigation and has suggested ways for local partners (NGOs and universitie s) to carry out these efforts of modernization. -
Book (stand-alone)IPTRID Partnership Programme 2003 - 2005
Supporting Capacity Development for Sustainable Agricultural Water Management
2003Also available in:
No results found.The new challenge of IPTRID is to cooperate with governments and funding institutions in assessing capacity development needs and in formulating sustainable agricultural water management strategies within the framework of Integrated Water Resources Management. To facilitate funding and implementation of capacity development programmes and projects with a central focus on thechnology transfer and the uptake of research results. Within the broad scope of the capacity development, IPTRID will thus act as a facilitator. Its niche is somehow the same as that of an architect, designing innovative solutions and helping to implement them in close cooperation with governments and funding agencies. IPTRID will meet this challenge by mobilizing expertise and resources through its wide network of knowledge institutions and resource centres.
