Water Availability and Access

Water availability and access are key constraints to poverty reduction and food security. Maintaining
enough water for agriculture of reasonable quality will be increasingly difficult due to climate change,
competition for water with industries, urban uses and the environment, and the need to produce
biofuels. Much of the world is faced with a situation where water supplies for various uses are
overallocated, with river flows much reduced, groundwater levels dropping, and important
ecosystems threatened - a situation of physical water scarcity. Much of this is driven by agricultural
water use. In other parts of the world, availability of water in rivers, wetlands, and aquifers is ample,
but access is difficult because people have not found means to develop the water resource - a
situation of economic water scarcity. Adaptive management strategies are required to balance
decreasing availability with increasing demand, while coping with uncertainties. These include water
allocation strategies, development of appropriate types of water storage ranging from small ponds to
large reservoirs and from surface structures to managed aquifers, and adopting policies that provide
incentives to use water differently. As new water infrastructure is a key strategy for improving secure
access for agriculture, the theme considers various benefits and costs of infrastructural development.
The overall aim is to maintain equity in water access, agricultural productivity, human health and
environmental quality in the face of increasing water scarcity at local, basin and transboundary
scales via development of adaptive management strategies, policy responses and tradeoffs.
