Ce mois-ci, nous célèbrerons, le 22 mars, la journée mondiale de l’eau. Le thème retenu pour cette année est: l’eau pour les villes: répondre au défi urbain. Dans ce numéro, nous vous proposerons une analyse des grands défis auxquels sont confrontées les ressources en eau, en raison de l’accélération des migrations et nous évoquerons une solution possible pour une meilleure utilisation de ces ressources. Nous aurons également le plaisir d’accueillir une nouvelle secrétaire exécutive pour la Commission des ressources génétiques pour l’agriculture.

Banana cultivation demands a large and frequent water supply throughout the production cycle to ensure optimal growth of the plantation, productivity and fruit quality. The types of irrigation used for banana can be sub foliar spray, suprafoliar spray, and drip gravity. The selection of the irrigation system to use depends on the availability of resources and access to technology. Aspects such as moisture retention, basic infiltration, evaporation and water balance potential also must be considered.

ولعل النمو السكاني، فضلاً عن اتساع المناطق الحضرية بوتيرة سريعة، إلى جانب التنمية الاقتصادية، تسبب في إحداث ضغط غير مسبوق على المياه، لاسيما في المناطق الجافة. ويشكل الشح المتفاقم في المياه والتنافس على هذا المورد تهديداً رئيساً للتطورات المستقبلية على صعيد الأمن الغذائي والحد من وطأة الفقر، وبخاصة في المناطق الريفية.

Las presentes directrices han sido elaboradas para asistir a los políticos, planificadores, técnicos y otros agentes implicados, en la decisión de adoptar una política de TGR, y en el caso de que se adopte, en la formulación de un programa efectivo. Un programa de estas características es el que tiene como resultado un proceso de transferencia de las funciones de la agencia de riego a las Asociaciones de Usuarios apropiado, satisfactorio y sostenible, que fomente un desarrollo equitativo en las áreas rurales.

Sustainable intensification requires smarter, precision technologies for irrigation and farming practices that use ecosystem approaches to conserve water.

The FAO Statistical Yearbook 2012: Africa Food and Agriculture, disseminates statistical information that will help all stakeholders to access, easily and quickly, a set of statistics on food and agriculture related to the current themes and domains of interest in the region. The document provides users in Africa and abroad with statistics and reliable indicators on food and agriculture that can be used for policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation.

This report aims to provide a conceptual framework to address food security under conditions of water scarcity in agriculture. It has been prepared by a team of FAO staff and consultants in the framework of the project `Coping with water scarcity: the role of agriculture?, and has been discussed at an Expert Consultation meeting organized in FAO, Rome in December 2009 on the same subject. It was subsequently edited and revised, taking account of discussions in the Expert Consultation and materials presented to the meeting.

The Masscote application presented here has been initialized through a training workshop in Karnataka for engineers and managers from the Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam Limited (KBJNL) focussing on ALMATTI irrigation systems from 13th to 21st May 2008. The contributions of the working group sessions at this workshop (RAP–MASSCOTE) have been largely included in this report.
