Enhanced Water Management for Sustainable Agriculture in Turkey and Pakistan

This project focuses on efficient water management strategies in the Harran Plain in Turkey and Sindh, Pakistan, improving irrigation practices in high-duty areas. Utilizing conjunctive water management, including canals for effluent discharge, forestry on canal banks, and tourism at lakes like Keenjhar. International efforts to enhance Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) through FAO's WaPOR database and WP scout teams, with a focus on Dutch-funded projects. Plans include guidance on practical solutions, policies, and services aimed at national benefits across various sectors. The initiative also seeks to engage IT companies for modern agricultural water management services and reinforce alliances for sustainable water programs.

  7. CANALS BANKS USED FOR FORESTRY

  8. STORAGE LAKES USED FOR TOURISM: KEENJHAR LAKE

  9. Example of small low head turbine, France A1. Introduction to IWRM

  10. WATER-PIP • FAO - WaPOR data base available for 10 years • WP scout teams There are 18 countries in WaPOR • Data should be used more by Dutch funded projects and national governments • Guidance will be provided at project level in terms of practical solutions for achieving WP targets • Also guidance for planning sectors to generate policies leading to more benefits and services at national scale (kg, calories, $, jobs, ecosystem services)

  11. WATER-PIP • New elan  and directions for agricultural extension workers • IT companies providing new generation of services for agricultural water management, following hackathons among others • 25% Alliance reinforced and expanded • Phase 1 mainly Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda (to 1 Dec 2019)  • Phase 2 10 more countries (>2019 ? •  can we add not two more countries in year 1?

  12. Work Packages • Assisting Dutch Supported Water Programs • Engaging Agri-Business and IT • National Policies • International Upscaling • Knowledge Hubs
