Basin Water Management - Understanding Water Productivity |
|---|
Home > Research Themes > Theme 1 - Basin Water Management Theme One research provides a better understanding of the tradeoffs and options in agricultural water management at the basin scale. It contributes to improved equity and productivity in water use through the development of appropriate tools and methodologies. IWMI’s research today takes a holistic, basin-scale approach to water management. This approach provides the context for problem identification—sectorally, spatially and temporally—as well as for the impact assessment of proposed solutions.
Research under the theme focuses on water productivity and basin-scale analysis, while incorporating issues of human and environmental health. It examines the links between water and land productivity and identifies opportunities for improved productivity across the entire blue-green, rainfed-irrigated, surface-groundwater spectrum. Research also assesses the impact of water productivity on the alleviation of poverty and hunger.
