Date: 26.06.2014, 17:00 – 18:30 h
Referent/in: Dr. John Lamers, ZEF
Inhalt: Water scarcity due to increasing water demand triggered by population growth and irrigation expansion versus a limited and increasingly variable water supply as a consequence of climate change is one of the global challenges. This is exemplified in Uzbekistan, Central Asia, where irrigated agriculture is the primary source of the livelihoods of the rural population. Policy decision-makers therefore have a growing need for information to guide their decision-making. Water foot prints are increasingly used to support such decisions. In this lecture, the use of water footprints as a method is assessed to support irrigation water management by the case of Central Asia. The assessment includes also options to increase water use efficiency while considering the entire supply chain of products including the production, processing, consumption and trade stages and processes.
