Making Water Conservation Pay

Conservation of water resources is among the highest priorities.

Regarding soil and water conservation, improved irrigation techniques, introduction of water use policies and monitoring of competing uses and demands for water, soil and water conservation techniques, and flood controls were seen as important.

Production costs are significant and water conservation is of paramount importance.

Incorporates the drilling of wells for water conservation in village projects.

(x) Raising awareness of the importance of water use efficiency and conservation

Soil and water conservation, management and utilization for sustainable development

Reforming subsidies that encourage unsustainable water use could encourage water conservation and investments in water saving technologies and practices.

89. The immediate course of action must centre on water conservation through rational utilization of water resources and use of efficient technologies.

Maintenance and rational use of water conservation projects and flood prevention facilities involving transboundary waters.

(f) Rational management and conservation of soil resources and exploitation and efficient use of water resources

Many countries have successfully used water tariff structures to promote water conservation and discourage waste, while meeting the needs of the poor.

Interventions to increase agricultural productivity to reduce poverty and hunger through greater extraction of water must be balanced with water conservation measures.

And another group was created to promote the Independent Initiative for Water Conservation.

Given the aridity of the region, conservation and the rational use of water become issues of extreme importance.

(b) To ensure that transboundary waters are used with the aim of ecologically sound and rational water management, conservation of water resources and environmental protection

In central and eastern Europe, soil conservation activities are implemented with the support of initiatives focusing mainly on combating soil erosion, land fertility management and water conservation.

(ix) Article 7 of the Revised African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, 2003, Water

Providing economic incentives to farmers and industries, for example in the form of low interest credit, tax relief and subsidies, could encourage investments in water conservation, low cost waste water treatment, soil conservation and other land management practices.

Options for North South environmental technology transfer on a preferential basis by agreement could include waste water treatment, water conservation and desalinization.

c) the conservation of forested and other catchment areas and the coordination and planning of water resources development projects,

Most of the projects aimed to increase access to water and food production and to conservation of acacia trees.

(e) Crisis conditions in traditional agriculture with associated land abandonment and deterioration of soil and water conservation structures

(b) Land use patterns, management of water resources, soil conservation, forestry, agricultural activities and pasture and range management

Sustainable management of the natural resources base land use planning, conservation and rehabilitation management of water resources conservation, development and use of plant genetic resources and global programme for animal genetic resources.

(v) Article 7, paragraph 3 of the Revised African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, 2003, Water

Most of the adaptation options identified for agriculture relate to crop management, land management, and soil and water conservation.

The Contracting Parties shall, in view of the role of water in the functioning of natural ecosystems, take all appropriate measures towards the conservation of their underground and surface water resources.

(g) Promote the integrated management of drainage basins, the conservation of soil resources, and the enhancement and efficient use of water resources

(g) promote the integrated management of drainage basins, the conservation of soil resources, and the enhancement and efficient use of water resources

Water scarcity could be addressed through modern water conservation techniques in agriculture (such as drip irrigation, on farm water management, lining of watercourses and canals, etc.) and through more traditional techniques (such as rainwater harvesting).

Their activities are mainly concerned with the recovery of degraded land, the rehabilitation of the natural environment, and water and soil conservation.

In Africa, the ongoing initiatives for rehabilitating degraded land are focused on reforestation, soil conservation and integrated management of water resources.

Activities cover such areas as information, awareness creation, reforestation, water and soil conservation, regeneration of rangelands, ecotourism and the promotion of renewable energies.

This double whammy can be mitigated only by innovative water management and conservation, and by developing nontraditional supply sources.

Industry can therefore contribute to water resource conservation in three respects by lowering if not eliminating its pollutant loads on water resources utilized by reducing total water resources utilized and by producing cost efficient equipment for recovering and distributing water resources.
