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

Other Water Pressures
• Urbanization - Cities are projected to use 150% more water in 2025
• Land Degradation – limits further productivity increases
• Climate Change – shifting patterns of water availability
• Energy – production and use by agriculture, competition with hydropower
Drivers of Water Use

• River basins overused – Colorado, Murray Darling, Yellow, Indus, Amu Darya ………
• 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
food and support wetlands and
biodiversity?
No
unless ….
We change the way we think
and act on water issues.

Water Needs (ET) will double – without water productivty gains

Reform the policy reform process
• Poverty, hunger, gender inequality, and ecosystem degradation continue
- not because of technical failings but because of political and institutional failings
• No blueprints - need to craft local solutions

Cars, Carnivores and Water
Our actions outside the
water sector, have a
profound impact on water
and agriculture
• Trade
• Response to climate
change
• Diets
• Energy/biofuels

Reflections
All scenarios point to more irrigation – but this
could be many types – large or small scale,
groundwater, or small supplemental systems
Water storage becomes an important investment
with climate change, but there are many types
of storage – large, small, GW, etc.
![Page 28: Deborah Bossio, David Molden International Water Management Institute · 2013-08-21 · What the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture says. Deborah Bossio,](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc055ead6a402d666681d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Water and land productivity gains are a key
– but will require actions outside of water
management
Highly productive, flexible, diverse systems
will require better water management,
but the water investments may have to
follow other changes.
Reflections
![Page 29: Deborah Bossio, David Molden International Water Management Institute · 2013-08-21 · What the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture says. Deborah Bossio,](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042313/5edc055ead6a402d666681d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
There is high uncertainty in the short and
long term…
Water systems – physical infrastructure &
institutions – have to be able to respond
to many changes.
Reflections

Make difficult choices now, not later:
Choices:
• Which investments – for production, adapting to
climate change
• Water storage for agriculture – water for
environment
• Upstream – downstream
• Productivity - Equity
• This generation – the next one (GW decline)
• Our consumption patterns and their impact
