Earthscan studies in water resource management Includes bibliographical references and index. "This volume reviews the evolution of ten years' learning and discovery about water scarcity, livelihoods, and food security within the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food. It draws on the experiences of over 100 projects conducted in ten river basins in the developing world. The book describes how the program's design evolved from an emphasis on water scarcity, water productivity, and water access to an emphasis on using water innovations to improve livelihoods and address development challenges in specific river basins. It shows how the research was used to foster change in stakeholder behavior, linking it to improved knowledge, attitudes, and skills, which were fostered by stakeholder participation, innovation, dialogue, and negotiation. The authors describe development challenges, their drivers and their political context, how to address them through technical, institutional, and policy innovations; and the consequences of change at different scales, time frames on equity, resilience, and ecosystem services. Overall, the work represents a major synthesis and landmark publication for all concerned with water resource management and sustainable development"-- 28992 Challenge Program on Water and Food. 9551 Water resources development International cooperation. 9552 Water-supply International cooperation. 9553 Food security International cooperation. 9554 Agriculture Research International cooperation. 9555 SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Hydrology. bisacsh 9556 Harrington, Larry W. 9557 Fisher, Myles. 9558 ddc BK 34014 34014 0 0 ddc 0 333_910000000000000_WAT 0 53085 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2015-03-14 Development Book Agency 3000.00 0 333.91 WAT 3010028992 2015-03-14 1 2015-03-14 BK 0 0 ddc 0 333_910000000000000_WAT 0 53086 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2015-03-14 Development Book Agency 3000.00 0 333.91 WAT 3010028993 2015-03-14 2 2015-03-14 BK
