- Description
- In this report, a general introduction to agriculture-wetland interaction (AWI) is followed by the application of the drivers, pressures, state changes, impacts and responses (DPSIR) model to analyse cases of AWI worldwide. Case studies are drawn from Ethiopia, the Netherlands, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand. This document, FAO Water Reports 33, was published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2008. This section, part 8 of 13, presents a case study on tropical river basins in India; Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Other sections of this publication are also catalogued in the e-library.

- Description
- This report analyses the impacts and costs of a predicted 1 metre sea-level rise on coastal wetland areas in East Asia and the Pacific, as well as North Africa and the Middle East. It discusses the importance of these areas and the causes of wetland loss and then goes on to provide figures for the amount of predicted wetland loss in a number of regions. It concludes by describing the economic losses that this wetland loss would cause. This report was published by the World Bank in 2012.

- Description
- This report discusses the value of the participatory groundwater management (PGM) package as a method of sustainable management of groundwater resources, particularly in relation to the large number of farmers in India who have little or no access to irrigation. The various components of PGM are described as well as the path to implementation, the responses from the people and envirionment (with case studies of responses from Chandrasagarvagu, Thundlavagu, Bhavanasi and Mandavagu in the district of Andhra Pradesh) and the sustainability, relevance and upscaling of such a programme.

- Title
- Description
- This report introduces the concept of water resources management and the need for valuation of these water resources. It provides a number of case studies, including one from Cambodia, that evaluate and analyse evidence of how water valuation has a positive impact on water resources management. It goes on to discuss the challenges that accompany this kind of approach to water resources management and then makes a number of recommendations for the direction of future work in this area. This report was published by the FAO in 2006.
