Mountains of the world cover about one-fifth of the land surface, are home to one-tenth of the world's population, and provide livelihood to some of the poorest communities in the world. Mountain lakes and streams are a source of freshwater for countless riparian human communities, support industries, provide water for irrigation and hydropower electricity production and for fish.

The project “CP/INT/231/SWI: Strengthening Agricultural Water Efficiency and Productivity on the African and Global Level” aims at reducing hunger and poverty in three African countries (Burkina Faso, Morocco and Uganda) by focusing on the improvement of Agriculture Water Management (AWM) and mainstreaming AWM in national frameworks and processes. One of the main outputs of the project is to enhance capacity for improved crop water productivity in small-scale agriculture in Burkina Faso, Morocco and Uganda (Output 1).

This publication deals with the underlying concepts relating to drainage water management. It first discusses the adequate identification and definition of the problem for the selection and application of a combination of management options. It then presents technical considerations and details on the four groups of drainage management options. The second part of the publication contains the summaries of the case studies from the United States of America, Central Asia, Egypt, India and Pakistan.

This working paper reports the first successfully implemented field pilot study in the management strategy of arsenic in crop production and for sustainable environment.

L’AGROÉCOLOGIE est la science de la mise en oeuvre des concepts et principes de l’écologie pour la conception et à la gestion de systèmes alimentaires durables.* Elle se penche sur les interactions entre les plantes, les animaux, les humains et l’environnement. Les principes agroécologiques fonctionnent en harmonie avec ces interactions, appliquant des solutions innovantes qui tirent parti de la biodiversité tout en la préservant. L’agroécologie est pratiquée aux quatre coins du monde, et s’articule autour des savoirs locaux et traditionnels des petits paysans.

The main goal of biomanipulation by fish reduction is not a change in the fish community but a change in the aquatic ecosystem. Fish reduction is a method to push the system in another state, usually a shift from algae domination to macrophyte domination. Intensive fish removal is done by one of the following methods: seining (the Netherlands, Germany, UK), trawling (Sweden, Finland), use of rotenone (Norway, USA, Poland) and stocking of piscivorous fish (USA, Germany). If circumstances allow it (reservoir, ponds) draining is combined with seining (the Netherlands, UK, Poland).

La Conferencia de Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas de 2012 (Río+20) destacó la urgencia de enfrentar uno de los retos más urgentes y, a la vez, más complejos del paradigma del desarrollo sustentable: la conciliación entre la producción de alimentos, la seguridad alimentaria y la conservación del ambiente.
