- Title
- Description
- This report (in 21 parts) presents a set of objectives, goals, methodologies and a checklist for assessment and communication of environmental risks potentially associated with coastal aquaculture. Six case studies illustrate the use of environmental risk assessment methodologies in coastal aquaculture discussing benthic community changes, shellfish farming, interbreeding of wild and escaped farm cod, fish farming waste, soil salinisation due to low-salinity shrimp farming and coastal aquaculture's potential effects on algal blooms.

- Title
- Description
- This study uses remote sensing, national crop productivity and land use statistics and weather data to analyse the water productivity of rice and wheat in the Indus and Ganges river basins in South Asia. It demonstrates that there is scope for improvement in water and land productivity in the middle to lower areas of the Ganges Basin where water is abundant but the high consumption is not being converted into high crop yields. This report was published by IWMI in 2010.
