Will there be enough water? A question posed to 700
researchers and practitioners who put together the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture.

Urbanization
• Increased demand for water for cities• Reallocation from irrigation to cities• Cities generate more wastewater – an important
source of agricultural supplies• Changes in dietary preferences – farmers respond to
different demands• Voting dynamics shift• Cities offer jobs – competition for rural employment

• River basins closed – Colorado, Murray Darling, Yellow, Indus, Amu Darya ……… no additional water left
• Groundwater overdraft – in agricultural breadbaskets
• Fisheries – ocean and freshwater at a limit, aquaculture will become more prevalent
• Livestock – limit on extent of grazing land, more will come from mixed and industrialized production
Limits – reached or breached

Will there be enough water to grow enough food, reduce poverty and support ecosystems?
No, unless ….We change the way we think and act on water issues.

How much more cereals?
Food demand doubles over the next 50 years because of diet and population growth
Water Needs (ET) will double – without water productivity gains

Address Drivers of Change
Our policies and actions outside the water sector; Agriculture Trade Response to climate change Diets Energy/biofuels
have a profound impact on water resources.

Increase Water Productivity• Physical Water Productivity – more crop per
drop– To reduce future water needs– For food production increases
• Economic Water Productivity – more value per drop– For more income, growth– Integrated, multiple use systems
![Page 34: Building resilience through better agricultural water management-DAVID MOLDEN](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554db304b4c905047b8b534e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Adapt yesterday’s irrigation
to tomorrow’s needs1. To reduce rural poverty2. To improve performance of many systems,
particularly in South Asia3. To keep up with changing food demand4. To adapt to changes – water scarcity,
competition, climate change, energy5. To increase multiple benefits and ecosystem
services, while reducing negative impacts
![Page 35: Building resilience through better agricultural water management-DAVID MOLDEN](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554db304b4c905047b8b534e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Around 70% of the world’s under-
nourished live in rural areas where non-agricultural
livelihood options are limited.
Get water to poor people, use it better
Improve and Safeguard Water Access
Access to Technologies

Propositions• Facilitate crafting of context specific adaptive policy and
management responses. • Refocus on agricultural productivity, especially water
productivity in light of scarcity. Share benefits.• Focus on access to water for the poor through technology and
rights, in particular for women and marginalized groups. Upgrading rainfed agriculture has high potential.
• Reinvent and revitalize irrigation in light of water scarcity and changing societal needs, with a focus on institutional and policy change.
• Identify and manage externalities brought about by water resources development and management in doing the above.
Considering local context, increasing demand & competition, complexity & integration, drivers of change, local politics
