This volume is an analytical summary and a critical synthesis of
research at the International Water Management Institute over the
past decade under its evolving research paradigm known popularly as
'more crop per drop'. The research synthesized here covers the full
range of issues falling in the larger canvas of
water-food-health-environment interface. Besides its immediate role
in sharing knowledge with the research, donor, and policy
communities, this volume also has a larger purpose of promoting a
new way of looking at the water issues within the broader
development context of food, livelihood, health and environmental
challenges. More crop per drop: Revisiting a research paradigm
contrasts the acquired wisdom and fresh thinking on some of the
most challenging water issues of our times. It describes new tools,
approaches, and methodologies and also illustrates them with
practical application both from a global perspective and within the
local and regional contexts of Asia and Africa. Since this volume
brings together all major research works of IWMI, including an
almost exhaustive list of citations, in one single set of pages, it
is very valuable not only as a reference material for researchers
and students but also as a policy tool for decision-makers and
development agencies.
More than a billion people cannot get safe drinking water; half the
world's population does not have adequate sanitation; within a
generation over three billion will be suffering from water stress.
This text analyzes the issues in this crisis of management and
shows how water can be used effectively and productively. The key
to sustainable water resources is an integrated approach. The
authors assert that careful planning and concerted action can make
the fundamental changes needed and that the implications of not
dealing with the crisis are immense. The book comes with
downloadable resources containing background research and
scenarios.
