|iv| Annual Report 2011-12

FOREWORD 2011-2012 appears to have attracted political attention towards the grave consequences of ignoring food security. Despite the ‘not so happy’ world economic situation, the G8 summit made some far reaching announcements with intentions to support agriculture in Africa. Let’s hope that these announcements result in some concrete grass root level actions. ICID commits to work towards the success of this initiative. The 6th World Water Forum was the forum for ‘solutions’. Now is the time for action as the increasing instances of droughts around the world, some of them in most unlikely places, continue to batter the farming community. Somalia in the Horn of Africa, Texas, State in USA the East Anglia region in UK, and Yangtze region in China, just to mention a few. These droughts were followed by highest floods in Yangtze River and extreme floods in River Chao Phrya, jeopardizing socioeconomic life in and around Bangkok. These are the continuing manifestation of extreme climate variability, a challenge which can be met only through adaptation. For meeting and other these challenges sharing experiences is vital. In this context ICID membership continues to deliver real returns for all its members, year after year. Still, under the continuing economic downturn, ICID membership has slipped down to an all-time low in last 30 years to 56. Steps to invigorate inactive National Committees, under the leadership of our Vice-presidents, have shown a glimmer of hope, particularly in Africa. Reactivation of some of the National Committees from Africa such as Tanzania is a welcome sign. In line with our vision, the 21st ICID Congress and the 8th International Microirrigation Congress, held in October 2011 in Tehran, focussed the deliberations on improving water productivity and attracted high political level attention. The events were well attended with more than 1200 delegates from 55 countries and representatives, including our partners from FAO, ADB, etc. At the same time, our new strategic thrust for “intensification of research and technology transfer programme” has started taking shape with the launch of two regional centres in Beijing and Tehran. The year 2012 is likely to continue further strengthening of these initiatives. ICID believes in partnerships. We enhanced our connectivity by increasing cooperation with our partner organizations within and outside the UN-Water. Continued ICID-FAO and ICID-ICOLD collaboration, as was demonstrated in WWF-6, is vital to our efforts to support food security. The Commission continued to work within the financial constraints but took significant steps by streamlining its structures to enhance effectiveness and reduce costs. At the same time, we strengthened our capabilities in many areas, by increasing the use of information technology. These achievements give me great confidence as I look forward to 2012. Clearly, economic challenges are likely to remain a dominant factor. Adelaide annual meeting in June will be known for some of the hallmark decisions which may shape our organization for decades to come. We will be bringing some fundamental changes in ICID constitution to give effect to its decision to broaden the base of its membership: the foundation for which was again laid in 2011. This will be an opportunity to renew our commitment to enhance our fight against hunger effectively. We will take important decisions to keep ICID committed, capable and connected. Our task is to make sure we emerge stronger, not weaker. |v| Annual Report 2011-12

Personal commitment has been the key to the Commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Based on the voluntary contribution of its experts drawn from member National Committees, the Commission has achieved its objectives under demanding conditions. The work reported here is a tribute to all their sacrifices, dedication and professionalism, without which it would not have been possible to take these strides. I am sure this report will give a good overview of the collective efforts of the entire ICID community. And finally, for ICID, 2011 was also the year of change of guards. Being the year of the triennial Congress, ICID got a young and dynamic President in Dr. Gao Zhanyi. At the same time, after a long dedicated service of eight years, Er. M Gopalakrishnan relinquished the post of Secretary General. Although this report is keyed in under my supervision, much of the work that I report has been ably supported by him.

ABOUT ICID 1.

We are the…. International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID), a leading scientific, technical, professional and International not-for-profit Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in the fields of irrigation, drainage, and flood control. ICID was established on 24 June 1950 with its Secretariat (Central Office) located in New Delhi, India. The members of the Commission are the participating countries, normally represented by a National Committee (NC) accepted into the Commission.

We stand for a world without hunger….

ICID is dedicated to enhance the world wide supply of food and fiber for all people. ICID believes that food security at various levels: global, national, local and household, starts with assured agriculture production. Given the needs of increasing world population, to eradicate hunger and malnutrition and the increasing consumption owing to better standards of living, it is imperative to double the food grain production in next 50 years. ICID is the premier international organization that strives to promote programs to enhance sustainable development of irrigated agriculture. ICID believes that a secured food production comes mostly from irrigated agriculture, especially in semi-arid and arid areas. While it is a fact that 40 percent of the world’s food production comes from 24 percent (200 million ha) of the irrigated land, ICID tackles the full spectrum of agricultural water management practices. They range from rainfed agriculture to supplemental irrigation, and planned deficit irrigation to micro-irrigation - making use of harvested rainwater and reuse of wastewater. It calls for a considerable improvement in the overall performance of the irrigation and drainage sector. As farmers are at the core of agricultural water use and are the principal stakeholders, ICID promotes Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM) to enhance irrigation performance. ICID encourages public private partnership in development and management of water resources.

We started a long time back… Dedicated to enhancing the worldwide supply of food and fibre for all people by improving water and land management and the productivity of irrigated and drained lands, ICID has actively participated in the first Green Revolution and made it successful by promoting research, development, and technology transfer initiatives that increased industrialized agriculture production in India and other developing countries of Asia.

We have a global membership…

Presently, ICID membership network is spread over 110 countries across the regions of Africa, Americas, Asia and Oceania, and Europe, covering over 95% of the irrigated area of the world. A National Committee (NC) in each of the member countries acts as the focal point. Individual professionals, engineers and researchers participate in the activities of the Commission through their National Committees.

What we do to fulfil our mission…

Photo: Manju Tyagi

The mission of ICID is to stimulate and promote the development and application of the arts, sciences and techniques of engineering, agriculture, economics, ecological and social sciences in managing water and land resources for irrigation, drainage and flood management for achieving sustainable irrigated agriculture. ICID works towards creating a synergy between agricultural and water policies, improvement of publicly operated irrigation schemes and increased investment both from public and private sources for expansion of irrigated area and for modernizing existing infrastructure. Starting with the development and application of the science and technique of irrigation, drainage and flood control (1975 Constitution) the objective has since widened with greater concern for the sustainable development of irrigation and drainage while preserving the environment and working towards social equity (1993 Constitution). As such the Commission is not merely a technical organization but the one concerned with global development issues. The Commission in achieving its mission considers a number of broad objectives: promoting the development and systematic management of sustainable irrigation, promoting equity including gender equity between users and beneficiaries of irrigation, promoting preservation and improvement of soil and water quality and addressing international problems and challenges posed by irrigation. The Commission, with active support from its member countries, both developed and developing, provides an international forum and network in which the technical, agronomic, socio-economic, environmental and managerial complexities involved in the development, management and operation of irrigation, drainage and flood management works are discussed. Improved practices are identified and promoted through the National Committees, various working groups, regional and international conferences, technical exchanges, and various publications.

ICID draws together the diverse disciplines and a pool of over 300 professionals/ experts involved in the planning, design, operation, management and development of irrigation, drainage and flood management works throughout the world. These professionals through technical and strategic workbodies address many topics that change overtime and help in bringing out numerous publications. ICID is a unique platform for the exchange of knowledge and information related to agricultural water management. ICID organizes triennially World Irrigation and Drainage Congresses and annually Regional Conferences to address and discuss issues of global/ regional importance. ICID at its triennial Congress deliberates on certain specific questions relating to irrigation and drainage. At the time of each of the Congresses an eminent professional is invited to deliver N.D. Gulhati Memorial International Lecture. The Commission with its more than sixty years of rich experience and knowledge base has brought out many special publications, position papers, proceedings/ transactions of triennial Congress, Regional Conferences, Workshop/ Symposia, etc. Regional issues are addressed by special working groups covering Africa, Asia, Americas, and Europe. Task Forces to address specific issues are also established from time to time. A Young Professionals’ Forum operates and associates with various activities of all the workbodies. Official statements and declarations have been issued setting out action plans to promote and increase conservation of water. ICID, for more than sixty years has been engaged in the transfer of agriculture water management technology. It recognizes a gap between the research and its application in the field and therefore seeks enhanced support not only for research and development but also for capacity building and improved extension services in the dissemination of technology/information/ knowledge among all stakeholders, especially farmers. ICID is a widely recognized international organization with a global flagship programs in Irrigation and Drainage. ICID closely works with allies that have the same mission and objectives such as, FAO, World Bank, UNDP and other UN and international and regional actors. ICID has been involved in the global discussions leading to Agenda 21, World Water Vision, World Water Forums etc. In recognition of its significant contribution to the programs and objectives of International Year of Peace proclaimed by the UN General Assembly, on 15 September 1987 ICID was designated as a Peace Messenger by the UN Secretary General.

ICID welcomes and invites participation of all countries and committed professionals from all disciplines, organizations and institutions to contribute to its activities in pursuit of its fundamental objectives, especially in meeting the challenges of sustainable irrigated agriculture in the coming decades.

Yes, but not just the engineeringâ&#x20AC;Ś

Irrigation and Drainage is not just engineering is fully recognized by ICID. Accordingly, ICID workbodies deal with engineering, agronomic, environmental and management aspects of irrigation, drainage and flood management. The questions addressed by various triennial Congresses clearly indicate a progressive shift from purely technical questions to global water and food issues and sustainability of irrigation. From the questions focusing on the problems of freeboard in irrigation canals, the maintenance of irrigation canals, safe yields and recharge of groundwater (2nd Congress, 1952) they have moved to the question of economics and financing of irrigation and flood control works (5th Congress, 1963); the rehabilitation and modernization of irrigation and drainage systems (11th Congress, 1981); the environmental effect of irrigation and drainage (14th Congress, 1990); water management and institutional aspects (15th Congress, 1993); sustainability of irrigation and farmer participation (16th Congress 1996); and to the questions of food production under water scarcity, poverty alleviation and environmental challenges (18th Congress 2003).

Bringing it all togetherâ&#x20AC;Ś

ICID achieves its mission through voluntary contribution of experts from an active membership of 56 National Committee (NC). An International Executive Council (IEC) supported by Management Board (MB) in between the Council meetings governs its activities. The Commission is assisted in strategic, administrative and technical matters by three Administrative Committees, three Permanent Committees, twenty-six technical working groups, four Task Forces and four regional groups. National Committees The NCs of the participating countries are the building blocks of ICID. Any geographical area independently administered by a sovereign government and having interest in the activities of the Commission is eligible to become a member by establishing a National Committee. Individual engineers, scientists, managers, social scientists or farmers; the research, engineering, or social institutions can participate in the activities of the Commission through their National Committees, to further the objects of the Commission in their countries or sovereign areas. The National Committees are increasingly being broad-based and multidisciplinary and collaborate with other organizations having related aims within the countries. The National Committees invite and host annual IEC meetings, Congresses and Regional Conferences held by rotation in the various regions. They also organize activities in their respective countries to implement various action programs developed, promoted or sponsored by the Commission. International Executive Council The International Executive Council (IEC) composed of one representative from each National Committee and the current Office Bearers is vested with the management of the affairs |6| Annual Report 2011-12

of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID). The Council meets each year and considers all matters of policy which may be initiated or sponsored by any member National Committee or Office Bearer or by the Management Board and may itself initiate or otherwise advise and lay down any matter of policy. All matters affecting the executive or administrative function and financial liabilities of ICID come up before the Council whose decisions are conclusive. IEC is presided over by the President, who is also responsible for the direction of Central Office. Secretary General, who is also the Commission’s Treasurer is responsible for the conduct of administrative and financial business of ICID. Management Board The Management Board (MB) comprises the President, immediate Past President (for one year only), Chairpersons of the Permanent Committee on Technical Activities (PCTA), Permanent Finance Committee (PFC), Permanent Committee on Strategy and Organizational Affairs (PCSO) and the Secretary General. The Management Board (MB) is responsible through the Central Office (CO) for the implementation of the decisions made by the Council, and will decide such actions in between Council meetings as are necessary to properly effect the working of the Commission.

Technical workbodies The activities of the Commission are carried out through workbodies: committees, technical working groups, and task forces. National Committees nominate top experts to these workbodies.

|7| Annual Report 2011-12

Currently, 30 working groups grouped under four thematic areas: Basin, System, Knowledge and On Farm are engaged in various activities. Regional water related issues are addressed by special working groups covering Africa, Europe, Asia, Americas, Lake Chad Basin and the Aral Sea Basin. Central Office Known as Central Office, the Secretariat of the Commission is located in New Delhi, India, and is managed by the Secretary General assisted by professionals and staff. A Staff Committee (SC) reviews and formulates the work procedures and the staff structure of the Central Office, in keeping with the changing requirements of ICID, and advise the Secretary General on the functioning of the Central Office. ICID Website (http://www.icid.org) provides information on the latest and forthcoming ICID events, publications, database, awards, National Committees and workbody websites, etc. A Central Library in New Delhi has a large collection of technical books, reports, proceedings, periodicals and ICID publications.

Unless we increase our capacity to use water wisely in agriculture, we will fail to end hunger and we will open the door to a range of other ills, including drought, famine and political instability,â&#x20AC;? UN Secretary General on WWD 2012

|8| Annual Report 2011-12

WORKING GROUPS IN ACTION Feeding a growing global population and ensuring food and nutrition security for all will depend on increasing food production through sustainable use of water, one of the most finite resource and the essential ingredient for food production. In many parts of the world, water scarcity is increasing and rates of growth in agricultural production have been slowing. Agriculture being the main user of freshwater, it is recognized that our inability to use water wisely in agriculture will endanger water security and has the potential to lead to political stability and peace. At the same time, increasing variability of climate exacerbates risk and unpredictability for farmers, especially those who depend on the rain-fed agriculture and are the most vulnerable and the least able to adapt. With nearly 1 billion people hungry and some 800 million still lacking a safe supply of freshwater, there is much we must do to strengthen the foundations of local, national, and global food security. ICID through the voluntary efforts of experts drawn from its various National Committees (NCs), organized under its workbodies- Committees, Working Groups, Task Forces - have been sharing experiences across geographical, climatological, economic and social spectrum; developing various technical papers, guidelines and manuals based on best experiences; and compiling status of irrigation and drainage across the globe. The following sections describe very briefly the activities of these workbodies during the period under report. The sequence of their occurrence is more contextual that drives the work of these workbodies.

Irrigation and MDGs

Agriculture provides much more than food. It offers livelihood, essential commodities, environmental services and social goods that facilitate economic development, industrialization and diversification. Three-quarters of the poor live in rural areas, most relying on agriculture for their livelihood. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) established at the turn of the 21st Century call for eradication of extreme poverty and hunger as goal no 1. Under this goal, target 1.C â&#x20AC;&#x153;aims to halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hungerâ&#x20AC;?. In order to synthesize specific knowledge and experience from the irrigation sector, to design pro-poor actions in a wider understanding of irrigation along the whole rainfed-irrigated continuum, or in other words the agriculture water management, ICID has established a Working Group on Poverty (WG-POVERTY). The Group looks for solutions that work within clearly defined socio-economic context, so that they can be mobilized in a case specific approach. The emphasis is on multiple-use of irrigation systems as an approach to alleviate poverty. The WG has compiled information pertaining to a few countries as how irrigation has helped alleviate the poverty of local population. The Working Group plans to develop a position paper on poverty alleviation by 2013 and during the last meeting, the group started the process to develop a draft for circulation to all national committees for their inputs and comments. While the WG-POVERTY is primarily concerned with developing and advocating policies that would enhance the |9| Annual Report 2011-12

poverty alleviation dimension of irrigation and drainage, ICID has recently created a Working Group on Millennium Development Goals (WG-MDGs) that would be concerned with measurement of impact of Irrigation and Drainage on the MDGs in general. The mandate of the WG is to promote the production of a credible evidence of the impact of agricultural water management investments on the reduction of poverty and malnutrition (MDG 1), and other MDGs related to social development outcomes (e.g. health and education). The two groups work in a complementary mode.

Economic impacts of Irrigation

Irrigated agriculture is one of the major contributors to the supply of food and fibers in the world. Forecasts of water supply and demand (IWMI, FAO, and IFPRI) provide a picture of food supply and demand and irrigation-water supply and demand by 2025 and 2030. The forecasted results have direct implications for decisions related to investment in water and in rural development. It is important to assess as to how the irrigated area could be expanded within the available limited financial resources and irrigation-water use reduced in order to meet future needs. Results of past investments in agricultural water management have been mixed. On one hand, irrigated agriculture expansion has increased productivity and has made a major contribution to meeting fast rising world food demand supporting rural economy and reducing poverty. On the other it is often complained that the performance of large-scale irrigation has been sub-optimal. The rapid growth and uptake of the sector has been, to a certain extent based on the availability of water at low price. At the same time the supply driven approaches and large-scale irrigation infrastructure is alleged to have resulted in bureaucratic institutions that lack the structure and incentives for efficient management and not capable of responding to farmer needs. The investment in maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure has fallen way short of accepted norms. Few projects have tackled the demand-responsive water delivery service. These issues have been at the centre stage of ICID discussions for many years. Recently, these issues are deliberated and experiences exchanged under the Task Force on Financing Water for Agriculture (TF-FIN). The focus of TF-FIN is to get a better understanding and assessment of (i) the required investments and beneficiaries of those investments in agricultural water, (ii) the presently available financing mechanisms and constraints for maintaining or improving physical irrigation capacity; and (iii) the expected changes and innovations for more appropriate financing mechanisms to enable sustainable water use for food production. The TF has collected case studies from Australia, France, Iran, Japan, South Africa, Thailand, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and India. TF-FIN is organizing a workshop on 25 June 2012 in Adelaide. Based on the workshop papers, together with the country case studies, the TF plans to bring out a report titled “Water Use Charging Systems and Available Financing of Irrigation: Case Studies and Cross-Country Comparison”. Large and medium scale irrigation systems worldwide account for about 60 percent of the irrigated areas but are the one that present the most severe gap between expected and actual performance. Efforts to improve the performance of these systems have been mixed because of a number of misconceptions of the problems. |10| Annual Report 2011-12

“

We need a global initiative to provide universal access to safe drinking water by 2030 to improve wastewater managaement, and to increase efficiency of water use in agriculture, energy and industry.” US Secretary General, 12 May 2012

ICID has decided to form a new Task Force on Application of Value Engineering in Irrigation and Drainage Projects (TF-VE). An international core group has developed a mandate and terms of reference of the Task Force. Iranian National Committee (IRNCID) has prepared a CD-ROM containing documentaries, books, papers on “Application of Value Engineering in Irrigation and Drainage Projects” for circulation among the National Committees and distributed to all the participants during Tehran Congress in 2011.

Water, Energy and Food Nexus

The complex linkages between the food supply, its impact on requirements of water and energy; energy and its impact on food preservation, storage and transportation and requirement of water; and how availability of water has impact on both energy and food are far from fully understood. Globally, this nexus has recently been recognised. ICID Task Force on Water for Bio-Energy and Food (TF-BIO-ENERGY) is evolving “ICID’s position on Water for Bio-Energy and Food” taking into consideration the possible conflict between food production and the production of bio-fuel crops and use of agricultural water to produce bio-fuel crops and the use of non-food crops and marginal water/soils recycled water for the to produce bio-fuels. The TF also looks into the technical requirements to ensure viable production of bio-fuel crops without government financial support and use of agricultural waste for the production of bio-fuel crops. The TF is organizing a workshop to discuss member country policies and developments during the 2012 Adelaide Conference.

Learning from Past and Preparing for Future

Future is often the reflection of the past. The rapid changes that are taking place around us for last thirty years have, however, cautioned such an approach. Still one can learn lessons by studying the past process, the causes of success and failures, despite changes in relative complexities. Working Group on History of Irrigation, Drainage and Flood Control (WG-HIST) has worked over the years to motivate ICID National Committees in various countries to set up their national working groups and provide them guidance to compile, publish, update and/or translate documents on history of irrigation, drainage, flood control, and river engineering, incorporating relevant agricultural, political, socio-economic, climatological and geographical aspects for proper understanding of the technological developments. The WG has organized seminars at ICID Congresses in order to show the importance of historical studies when planning new projects and has come out with many outstanding publications (see inside back cover). WG-HIST is presently exploring the possibility of compiling a book on “Water Sustainability through History”. Various options with respect to considering the outputs from the proposed conference are being considered for the compilation. In the discussion, it was proposed to start with the book as a first step. Members from Indonesia and Iran offered to prepare case studies on water sustainability from their countries. Hungary, the Netherlands, Japan, Chinese Taipei are also expected to provide case studies. The WG-HIST will be organizing a workshop on “Historical Water Sustainability: lessons to learn” at the 2012, Adelaide conference. In addition to learning from past experiences, including mistakes, what definitely is required under the increasing |11| Annual Report 2011-12

complexities of supply, demand and uncertainties, is a breed of professionals that approach the irrigation and drainage issues with a more open mindset to accept the multi-dimensional aspects of the sector and are willing to undertake their activities in an inter-disciplinary context. With these longterm objectives in view, ICID has established the Working Group on Young Irrigation Professionals Forum (WG-YPF) that provides an international platform for young engineers/ scientists for their professional development in the subjects of irrigation, drainage, flood management and environment. A special session was hosted by IRNCID on 17 October 2011 which gave golden opportunity for young professionals to engage, network and share experiences. WG-YPF called for financial support from the National Committee for young professionals to be active and able to participate in ICID meetings. It was appealed that the talented young professionals should be given an opportunity to show and develop their creativity. The young professional fora were successfully organized during European Regional Conferences in March and May 2011 in France and Netherlands, respectively.

Bringing more crop per drop

Water availability for irrigation is increasingly constrained. The world must produce more with less water. The future production of food and other agricultural products will not be possible without better use of water. For a long time, progress in agricultural production has been assessed in terms of ‘yield per unit of land’. A paradigm shift is taking place towards maximizing the yield per unit of water used. This requires a better control and application of irrigation water, and a judicious and conscious use of rain and irrigation water, combined with good agricultural practices to ensure the highest possible productivity. Realizing that the technology would play an important role in the improved ‘Water Use Efficiency’, in raising water productivity, and in solving the future water scarcity problems, ICID Working Group on Water Saving for Agriculture (WG-WATS)has been mandated to recognize proven water saving innovations, and to identify and promote successful water conservation. WG-WATS proposes to organize an Internal Workshop on ‘Water Saving Achievements’ at 2012 Adelaide conference. The main theme of the workshop is “Water Saving approaches and achievement in irrigated agriculture”. The workshop will deliberate on two main topics viz. – (i) Conventional, engineering, agronomic, management, and institutional water saving aspects; and (ii) Non-conventional innovative technologies. The WG has brought out a book titled “Water Savings in Agriculture” that compiles a number of case studies of successful water savings. The book has been translated in Persian and Arabic languages and process is under way to translate the book in French. About two-third of recent international financing for irrigation and drainage-and almost all World Bank lending in the sector in the last decade has been for rehabilitation and upgrading of large-scale irrigation. Much of this investment has addressed the huge backlog in deferred maintenance and repairs, supported by related reforms in institutions and management. Modernization of service through upgrading existing infrastructure is a challenging technical and institutional problem. New solutions are needed, based on new management options and widely available technologies. In order to provide a continuing focus for sustainable |12| Annual Report 2011-12

improvement of irrigation service delivery through progressive modernization of infrastructure, management and institutions, ICID has established a Working Group on Modernization of Irrigation Systems (WG-MIS). Under WG-MIS, development and management of irrigation systems has been one of the core areas of ICID activities. ICID has brought out some valuable publications on this issue (see inside back cover). ICID, jointly with IWMI and the World Bank, has made a valuable contribution in promoting the concept of ‘Benchmarking of Irrigation and Drainage Schemes’. As a result, countries like Australia, India, Spain have adopted the benchmarking practice as a tool to monitor the irrigation performance. Moving further, ICID felt the need to focus on modernizing irrigation services as this was one of the lacunas in many developing countries.

“

A lot needs to happen in terms of how we irrigate. Old, rigid systems of water distribution in large irrigation schemes will need to be replaced by much more flexible ones, offering more reliable water supply, and therefore allowing for progressive, higher value crops diversification. In such modernized systems, drip irrigation will play an important role in boosting water use efficiency and productivity…” Mr. Alexander Müller Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)

WG-MIS concerned with the lack of progress on modernization of services relative to the focus on improving the infrastructure elements of the irrigation system, is working with the FAO. Many case studies of the application of MASSCOTE, a tool developed by the FAO have been compiled by the group. An international workshop on irrigation modernization jointly with FAO was held at Tehran. The FAO representative reminded the participants that MASSCOTE does focus on services as the objective of modernization. In Australia services form part of modernization to avoid missing opportunities. Iran and Malaysia are actively promoting the application of MASSCOTE in their irrigation schemes. The European Work Team on Sustainable Irrigation Management (EWT-SIM) focuses on the activities such as: (1) sustainable and environmentally sound irrigation management practices, (2) develop joint projects to apply for financing, (3) organize training courses and scientific tours, and (4) legislative and institutional development in irrigation management. It has recently brought out a document on ‘Irrigation Sector Reforms in Central and Eastern European Countries’.

Meeting the challenges of climate change

Since agriculture accounts for 70% of water use and up to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, it contributes to and is threatened by climate change. Adapting water management policies and practices to the existing climate variability by building resilience is the best way to prepare for potential climate change. Improved water harvesting and storages (such as pools, dams, pits, retaining ridges, etc.), supplementing the water requirement for rain-fed crops, highly efficient irrigation systems and best practices are fundamental for addressing increasing variability of rainfalls, and reducing the adverse impacts of extreme events of floods and droughts. ICID addresses these issues through its Working Group on Global Climate, Change and Agricultural Water Management (WG-CLIMATE) along with the Working Group on Water Management in Water Stressed Regions (WG-DROUGHT) and Working Group on Comprehensive Approaches to Flood Management (WGCAFM). The looming climate change and its likely impacts on water management for agriculture require cooperation cutting across institutional and disciplinary boundaries. It calls for intensification of data collection networks, research into methodologies to downscale the climate impacts on water and agriculture, review of the operation of storage systems, enhancing soil water storage with water harvesting structures, and sharing knowledge and information. These working groups, collaborating with global partners have been associated with the process of setting up a UN System wide Global Framework for Climate |13| Annual Report 2011-12

Services (GFCS) under the leadership of WMO that started with the World Climate Conference-3 in Geneva in 2009; the initiation of Integrated Drought Management Program at WMO; and the consultation on User Interface Platform (UIP) on Agriculture and Water themes held in September 2011 in Rome as part of the implementation of GFCS. ICID, through its network of implementing agencies in the countries is poised to play an active role within the UIP component of GFCS. WG-CLIMATE is mandated to review the progression of and predictions for Global Climate Change (GCC) and climate variability and to explore and analyse the medium-term implications of climate change and climate variability for irrigation, drainage, and flood management. It stimulates discussion and raises awareness of water related GCC issues within the ICID family and at national scales among scientists and policy makers. It also contributes to the international dialogue on GCC and water. The Asian Regional Task Force on Climate Change (ARTF-CC) established under the auspices of Asian Regional Working Group (ASRWG) has compiled a report ‘Climate Change Adaptation for Irrigation and Drainage in Asia’ which was presented at the 6th World Water Forum held in Marseille in March 2012. Earlier, a symposium on ‘Climate Change Impacts on Soil and Water Resources’ was organised by the group in Tehran where presentations based on the experiences from South Africa, China and California were made. WG-DROUGHT mandated to capture field experiences of the implementation of drought risk management strategies for coping with water scarcity, the group also looks at the approaches and strategies for incorporating economic justification for allocation of water for agricultural production, competing with all other uses, and re-defining, as necessary, the conventional irrigation efficiency concept. The Group is addressing these issues under three separate themes titled (1) drought management strategies in water stressed / scarce regions, (2) coping with water scarcity, and (3) rainfall harvesting and management for sustainable agriculture. The Theme Leaders will present intermediate outputs at the WG meeting to be held at Adelaide in June 2012. The WG will also organize a workshop during 2013 meetings in Turkey where draft final findings of the WG will be presented. A publication on “Irrigation under Drought and Water Scarcity” is under final stages preparation. Earlier, the erstwhile European Work Team on Drought (EWT-D) brought out ‘How to work out a Drought Mitigation strategy’ back in 1998. Working Group on Comprehensive Approaches to Flood Management (WGCAFM) is mandated to study the social, political and economic aspects of flood mitigation measures. The Group aims at making flood management ecologically sound through and encourage people’s participation in disaster preparedness. In view of the new emerging issues like climate change, sea level rises, increasing number of flash floods, adaptation strategy of living in flood prone areas is also addressed with a view to set up holistic, integrated and adaptive flood management schemes. WG-CAFM shared the experiences from Japan in tackling the issues related to the Great East Japan Earthquakes and Tsunami in Japan (2011); floods in the State of California, where public promotion activities for flood management have proved to be effective; and the new Iranian criteria for selection of design floods for large dams. The Group has proposed to bring out a publication titled “Adaptive Flood Management” and the contents of chapters are under discussion. The WG will be organizing an International Workshop titled “Adaptive Flood Management” on 25 June 2012 at Adelaide, Australia.

“

We must meet the agricultural demand in a way that conserves water and other natural resources, ranging from the sustainable intensification of agriculture capable of producing the food the world needs while using water more intelligently”. UN Secretary General

The European Work Team on Water Related Risk Analysis (EWT- WRRA) identifies the basic risk factors and impacts of the water related disasters by evaluating prevailing risk assessment practices in countries and develops a common risk evaluation plan towards harmonized national risk management action plans.

Ensuring Sustainable Development

The three pillars of ‘Green Revolution’, - high yielding varieties, chemical inputs like fertilizer and pesticides, and irrigation – have had a definite positive outcome in terms of increased food production, which obviated hunger in many parts of the world. But it also had negative impacts on the environment. Similarly, for years, groundwater has served as the resource for supplemental and intensive irrigation. However in many basins worldwide groundwater is now mined rapidly and quality is deteriorating. The way water in general, and water for agriculture in particular, has been managed has harmed the environment in a variety of ways: groundwater depletion; degradation and contamination of land and water; depletion of forest resources; and loss of ecosystem services and biodiversity. ICID has long been concerned with these issues and has established various working groups addressing the environmental impacts such as drainage of irrigated lands, the use of poor quality water including saline and wastewater in irrigation and management of lowlands and wetlands. The Working Group on Environment (WG-ENV) provides guidance on the environmental aspects of drainage and irrigation to policy makers, planners, designers, and managers including its effects on climate and human health. The group aims at the management of sustainable environment, maximizing positive and minimizing adverse effects of irrigation and drainage systems. The Group is looking at the options for publication of “Irrigation and Drainage Systems in a Multifaceted Environment: Interactions and Cross-Impacts” based on the workshop proceedings. The Group has also decided to set up a Task Force on “Life Cycle Approaches (LCA) Applied to Irrigation and Drainage Systems”. The Group, had a change in leadership with Prof. Hu Heping (China) officially stepping down as Chair of the WG and Dr Sylvain-Roger Perret (France) taking over as new Chair with Prof. Dr. Nobumasa Hatcho (Japan) as new Vice-Chair. Today about 300 million ha are irrigated worldwide. However, in many countries owing to inefficient management and application of water about 11% of the world’s irrigated area is suffering from salinization and about 60-80 million hectares are affected to some extent waterlogging/salinity. Agricultural drainage is one of the core activity areas of ICID. The Working Group on Drainage (WG-DRG) has been working on this area since three decades. The group has brought out some valuable publications (see inside back cover), organized series of international workshops, participating and contributing ICID’s views in various international fora and liaising with other international organizations involved in promoting agricultural drainage. Recently the WG has initiated a statistical compilation of ‘World drained area”. With the available data it is found that worldwide only about 13.3% of the arable and permanent cropped land has drainage provisions. Data compiled in respect of 98 countries so far is being verified and refined further. Under the overall guidance of WG-DRG a series of International Drainage Workshops (IDWs) have been |15| Annual Report 2011-12

organised since 1978. The 11th workshop in the series is being hosted by the Egyptian National Committee (ENCID) in Cairo from 23-27 September 2012 on the theme “Agricultural Drainage Needs and Future Priorities”. Details on topic/ sub-topics, call for papers, venue, exhibition, study tours, etc. are available on the workshop website http://www.encid.org.eg/idw11. Russian National Committee will be organizing the 12th IDW in St Petersburg, Russia in 2014. The European Work Team on Drainage (EWT-DRA) covers among others: (a) analysis of existing drainage and lowland management experiences, (b) the new approaches for monitoring of the technical and ecological status of the drainage systems, (c) strategies for drainage systems and lowland management etc. The Work Team together with WG-DRG will host the International Workshops in Europe focussing on European problems and approaches. In regions with high water stress use of brackish and saline water and the recycling of wastewater is sometimes the only option available to address the growing water crisis. Drainage water, treated wastewater, brackish and desalinated water can be used in agriculture, especially in the arid and semi-arid zones and in rapidly growing peri-urban areas. Cities’ wastewaters are in fact a precious source of water and nutrients for agriculture that have to be properly managed to minimize environmental and health risks. The Working Group on use of Poor Quality Water (WG-PQW) promotes a safe and good management of poor quality waters for irrigation so as to minimize the negative impact on human health and the environment. The group also promotes the multiple use of poor quality water with due consideration to the institutional and legal aspects with regard to the use of poor quality waters. The group has organized many international workshops on the topic and is actively collaborating with FAO, International Centre for Bio-saline Agriculture(ICBA ), Dubai and contributing to related UN-Task Forces. At the Tehran meeting the WG shared experiences from China on the use of brackish water for agriculture and ‘Management of pesticides contamination in drainage water by use of constructed wetlands’. Presentation was also made on the latest version of SALTMED, a computer model developed by the Chairman Dr. Ragab Ragab. The programme is available for free at SAFIR website <www.safir4eu.org>. The SALTMED model has been developed for generic applications and accounts for different: irrigation systems, crops, soil types and fertilizer applications. It was developed to predict dry matter and yield, soil salinity and soil moisture profiles, salinity leaching requirements and soil nitrogen dynamics and nitrate leaching, soil temperature, water uptake, and evapo-transpiration. Dr. Samia El-Gundy (Egypt) has taken over as the Chairperson of the WG after Dr. Ragab Ragab, who lead the Group for the past 14 years and coordinated/ organized many high level workshops and represented ICID at many international fora. Issues related to sustainable development and management of water and land resources in tidal areas are addressed by the Working Group on Sustainable Development of Tidal Areas (WG-SDTA). The Group reviews the progression of natural wetland conservation and constructed wetland development in tidal areas. It attempts to raise awareness of the increasing risk to tidal areas due to global climate change, stimulate discussion on impacts and mitigation measures, and find a balance between the preservation and development of tidal areas. The Group advocates for enhancement of survey, improvement in |16| Annual Report 2011-12

“

There is no doubt in my mind that ICID has a role to play in helping to improve the livelihoods of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable whether they be associated with irrigated or dryland farming.” “ICID has a reinvigorated mandate to position water management at much higher political level.” President ICID Prof. Dr. Chandra A. Madramootoo

“

For adaptation and extension of new farming technologies, supportive policy, finances and capacity building aspects are the key factors. Gao Zhanyi, President ICID

design techniques, collect information about the tidal area environment around the world; join the international dialogue and organize international conferences. Based on the work undertaken by the WG-SDTA, ICID has brought out a publication titled “Towards Sustainable Development of Tidal Areas: Principles and Experiences” to improve the planning, design and management of irrigation and drainage projects in tidal areas, which was released during Tehran Congress in October 2011. The Japanese National Committee of ICID (JNC-ICID) has also brought out a new publication on “Japanese Proceedings on Sustainable Development of Tidal Areas” which were circulated among NCs and Members of the WG. An internal Workshop of the WG-SDTA was held in Tehran, Iran on the theme “Sustainable Water / Environment Management in Tidal Areas” with five subthemes – (i) Water quality management in tidal areas; (ii) ecological resources management in tidal areas; (iii) flood management in tidal areas; (iv) engineering for sustainable development of tidal areas; and (v)integrated tidal area management and decision and policy making. The Korean National Committee (KCID) supported the printing of workshop proceedings. The selected papers of the workshop will be published in a Special Issue of ICID Journal on SDTA in 2012 Adelaide conference. Prof. Rue-Chu Kao (Chinese Taipei) and Prof. Kazuaki Hiramatsu (Japan), took over as new Chairman, and Secretary of the WG, respectively. Dr. Park Sang Hyun (Korea) the former Chair made valuable contribution and under whose leadership WG-SDTA was adjudged the Best Performing Workbody for the triennial ending 2011.

Reaching out to the farmers

The Working Group on On-Farm Irrigation Systems (WG-ON-FARM) promotes on-farm irrigation as part of integrated water resources management, and sustainable efficient approach for on-farm irrigation. The group has brought out many publications (manuals and guidelines) for planning, design and evaluation of micro and sprinkler irrigation systems (see inside back cover). One of the important activities of the WG is compilation of the sprinkler and micro irrigated areas in ICID member and other countries. As per the latest compilation, worldwide more than 46 million ha (comprising 36 million ha sprinkler irrigation and 10 million ha of micro irrigation) are irrigated by these water saving irrigation technologies. ICID is a ‘Liaison Member’ of ISO/TC23/SC18 since over a decade. The Subcommittee (SC18) deals with preparation of Standards for ‘Irrigation Equipments”. The WG participates in its annual meetings and also the SC has Permanent Observer on the WG while the WG-ON-FARM members contribute to the SC 18 activities from time to time. ICID disseminate the Standards released by the ISO among its member countries. Another important activity of the WG is to organize ‘International Micro Irrigation Congress’ on periodic basis. The 8th International Congress was held in Tehran during 19-23 October 2011 on the theme “Innovation in Technology and Management of Micro-irrigation for Crop Production Enhancement”. At its Tehran meeting the WG discussed on: a new “software on drip irrigation system testing” “Irrigation efficiency: A South African framework”, and “Low Pressure Irrigation System in Iran” |17| Annual Report 2011-12

Working Group on Water and Crops (WG-CROP) promotes the efficient use of water in crop production; investigate the use of energy crops for biofuel production; develop techniques for rainfall harvesting; promote the multi-functionality of water use in paddy rice cultivation; and investigate the adaptation of agriculture to climate change. An interesting presentation on ‘Agriculture Water Multi-functionality’ through case studies made at basin level in Italy i.e. (i) Marta river basin; and (ii) Mignone river basin which indicated that 50% of the water was used for agriculture and the remaining goes for other sectors. Korean study indicated that of the 2100 mm of water applied to paddy, about 1000 mm accounted for return flow which was reused in the downstream, resulting in actual use of 1100 mm for paddy crop. It was shown that application of less water results into poor rice quality in terms of taste. A Japanese study on ‘Small scale hydropower generation using agricultural water’ advocated various reasons for going for small hydropower in canal system as new power source in Japan. IRNCID representative made a presentation on “The potential impact of climate change on Iran’s agriculture” and said that an increase in temperature by 0.04OC per year with decrease of rainfall is likely to decrease the crop yields significantly.

MAXIMISING WATER PRODUCTIVITY: 21ST ICID CONGRESS A three in one ICID event: 21st ICID Congress, 8th Micro-irrigation Congress and 62nd IEC Meeting was held in Tehran, Iran from 15 to 23 October 2011. As water is rapidly becoming a limiting resourceunder various demographic and development changes and impacts of climate change,the focus of the event was on “maximizing water productivity”. More than 1200 professionals, scientists, irrigation managers, policy makers, consultants, and students from 55 countries and international organizations participated.

The 21st ICID Congress with the theme “Water Productivity towards Food Security” was opened by H.E. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President, I.R. of Iran. The event was also graced by the presence of Minister of Water Resources from India; Minister of Jihad-e-Agriculture, I.R. of Iran; Vice Minister, Ministry of Water Resources, China; Deputy Minister of Water and Agriculture, Uzbekistan; and Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Tanzania. The event was hosted by the Iranian National Committee (IRNCID) under the leadership of H.E. M.R. Attarzadeh, Deputy Minister of Energy for Water and Wastewater Affairs, and Chairman, IRNCID and Dr. S.A. Assadollahi, Secretary General, IRNCID. During the opening session, three publications (a) Towards Sustainable Development of Tidal Areas: Some Principles and Experiences; (b) Half a Century with IRNCID; and (c) History of Waterin Ancient Iran, prepared by IRNCID were released. Congress proceedings (printed volume) with ‘Abstracts’ and a ‘CD-ROM’ containing all full length papers of all events were published.

Key Recommendations of the 21st Congress on Irrigation and Drainage The delegates at the Congress addressed two very important questions and made recommendations as follows: Question 56: “Water and Land Productivity Challenges” • •

• •

Irrigation efficiencies should be based on basin water balance rather than measurement at the farm level for planning and decision making, Irrigation water productivity (IWP) is a promising tool to evaluate the effectiveness of water allocated to agriculture from economic and environmental consideration, The definition of IWP should be framed based upon the different objectives, and scales, Attempts should be directed to minimize Evaporation water losses from the field right from planning and during operation through irrigation management,

|19| Annual Report 2011-12

• •

The concept of crop water requirement needs to be revisited with the focus on the actual water consumed by crops, In order to achieve high water productivity, other important factors like proper agro-technology, improving the soil condition, better seeds, appropriate fertilizer application, and above all the better farm management should be given due attention.

Question 57: Water Management in Rainfed Agriculture •

• •

• • •

• •

Policies need to be developed to encourage the use of water-efficient and productive practices such as supplemental irrigation, water harvesting and other rainfed farming inputs and tools, Deficit supplemental irrigation can maximize water productivity especially in water stress areas, Water harvesting through both micro-catchments (soil water storage) and macro-catchments (surface and ground water storage) are imperative for climate change adaptation by reducing runoff, erosion and floods in addition to increasing water availability to farmers and crops, Improved crop varieties and other cultural practices should be supportive to improved yields and water productivity, Institutions should be developed to support rainfed agriculture while the existing ones should be strengthened and empowered, Increased support to research to fill knowledge gaps on water management and associated aspects, especially on the impacts of climate change on rainfed agriculture and its adaptation, Besides research, capacity building is important to disseminate and apply improved practices and technologies, Access to markets was identified as the most important and there is need to work on developing markets in remote areas and improving access to markets in rainfed areas.

Key highlights of 62nd IEC At the 62nd IEC Meeting, President Prof. Chandra Madramootoo in his opening remarks highlighted the current Challenges of Food and Water Security. Tanzania rejoined the ICID after a gap of 5 years. We commend the efforts made HE Er. C.K. Chiza, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Republic of Tanzania. With this the Council adopted the practice of welcoming back the NCs from the Least Developed Countries, who have become deemed inactive due to non-payment of subscription, without insisting on the clearance of the outstanding dues.

Tehran Declaration While the Congress was focused on considering the theme on “Water productivity towards food security,” the Micro-irrigation Congress deliberated on issues related to “Innovations in Technology and Management of Micro-irrigation for the enhanced productivity.” As a result of intense deliberations following the presentations, the following recommendations emerged: 1.

Throughout the world the increasing signs of water stress, accentuated by the climate change are too imminent. The changes in the pattern of precipitation and temperatures impacts agricultural sector severely, particularly the rainfed. Increasing physical water productivity reduces the need for additional water required in irrigated lands to meet the increasing demand for doubling food production, meeting other water requirements, while at the same time providing sufficient water for the sustainability of ecosystems.

As water becomes a more limiting resource than land and other resources it is logical to focus on “maximizing water productivity.” Creating an enabling environment allows the adoption of improved water management and other rainfed agriculture technologies to achieve this productivity increase. Where needed, the national policies can be changed involving all stakeholders to encourage maximizing water productivity by valuing water. A financial policy which reallocates to water use efficient practices and options can yield the desired results.

Rainfed agriculture is very important to enhance food security and ecosystems sustainability. However, the rainfed produces much below the potential achievable. Returns on investment in rainfed systems is high and hence essential in many areas where with of supplemental irrigation, water harvesting and soil and water conservation in addition to facilitating access to necessary inputs, better results are achievable.

Impacts of climate change and droughts on rainfed production require more emphasis and consideration. It is important to increase support to research and capacity building in rainfed agriculture. Especially for understanding the impacts of climate change and adaptation measures in addition to optimizing water management.

Cost of desalination of water for agriculture use is prohibitively high. Therefore water productivity efforts should focus on: (i) decreasing water losses in different phases of supply, distribution and consumption; (ii) improving irrigation methods, optimizing farming, garden and green area patterns; and (iii) reuse of wastewater for agricultural and city green areas.

Irrigation Water Productivity (IWP) is a promising tool to evaluate the effectiveness of water allocated to agriculture from economical and environment consideration particularly within water stressed regions. Local knowledge and modern techno-logical information are required to increase water user efficiency.

It is important to realize that irrigation has only a part role in the crop production process. In order to have high water productivity there are other important key players in this process which should be aligned with irrigation technology and management. The examples are, proper agro technology, improving the soil condition, better seeds, appropriate fertilization, and above all the importance of farm management is to be emphasized.

Evaporation from the field is an actual water loss within irrigation schemes, which is not recoverable. So attempts should be directed to the technology and management of irrigation planning and operation to minimize such water losses.

Supplemental irrigation is the key strategy, so far underutilized on a regional basis to unlock the yield potential under rainfed water scarcity conditions. Realizing that sub-surface drip irrigation is more effective than conventional drip irrigation systems in decreasing water evaporation and deep percolation especially in warm regions and light soils.

10.

The concept of crop water requirement needs to be reconsidered with the aim to focus on the actual water consumed by crops. Irrigation technology should be directed to the systems which minimize losses and hence moving towards more water productivity.

11.

Water management practices and technologies with high irrigation efficiencies should be studied and recommended for planning and decision making, based on basin water balance rather than measurement at the farm level.

12.

There is an urgent need to improve designs and to increase micro-irrigation systems efficiency by incorporating latest research findings. Recognizing the priority of training illiterate farmers to apply pressurized and micro-irrigation systems in countries with low literacy level of the farmers.

13.

Recognizing that increase in water productivity based on crop for drop needs to be given prime importance in the 21st century.

How Irrigation and Drainage play an important role in Climate Change Adaptation?

Question 59:

How do Irrigation and Drainage Interventions secure food production and livelihood for rural community?

N.D. Gulhati Memorial Lecture An interesting talk on “The Irrigation Sector Shift from Construction to Modernization: What is required for Success?” was delivered by Prof. Dr. Charles M. Burt, Chairman, Irrigation Training and Research Center (ITRC) at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) San Luis Obispo, USA as part of the N.D. Gulhati Memorial Lecture series. Dr. Burt, with his vast experience spanning over 33 years in irrigation project modernization, elucidated common pitfalls to avoid by citing practical experience in the western USA. Dr. Burt stressed the need for improvement of irrigation performance through modernization of irrigation schemes while caring for the environment. The following are excerpts from his lecture.

|22| Annual Report 2011-12

Shift from Construction fo Modernization Decades of international irrigation modernization development have thrown up certain elements that determine the project success or its failure. There is evidence of important shifts that are required within the state and national irrigation bureaucracies, as well as universities to convert the failures into successes. In the past, irrigation projects have traditionally operated as autonomous entities that are answerable only to their own bureaucracies and regulations. Strong irrigation departments, in most countries, were built with a focus on construction of dams and large canals. However, continually increasing external pressures on irrigation projects to improve performance no longer allow this to hold true. The main factors that impact not only irrigation agencies, but the environment, governmental policies, and the public in general are declining groundwater levels, environmental restrictions for construction of new dams, and climate change impacts on usable water supply. The irrigation sector, which faces numerous challenges has do more with less (i.e., crop production must increase per unit of water and energy consumed), while protecting the environment. Irrigation departments need to recognize that the days of construction of new dams and canals have diminished and should have a vision of re-organizing to meet today’s complex irrigation demands. “ICID can play an important role in effectively promoting this new approach,” suggested Prof. Burt. Dr. Burt said that the shift to modernization must have its focus on providing excellent service to farmers while strengthening the environment. To be successful, such programs require dedicated service oriented cadres with backing of experienced technical specialists with extensive experience in successful modernization. Developing that cadre takes many years, serious funding, and pragmatic training – an effort that is as large as, and more important than, building several large dams. Modernization is expensive, and must be approached slowly with excellent attention to detail. The good news is that there is tremendous potential, through modernization, to improve the environment and increase the “crop per drop” of water and energy consumed, concluded Prof. Burt.

8th International Micro Irrigation Congress The 8th Micro-irrigation Congress, organized simultaneously with the 21st ICID Congress focused on “Innovation in technology and management of micro irrigation for enhanced crop and water productivity”. Some 96 papers on various aspects of micro irrigation were received for the Congress. President Prof. Chandra Madramootoo delivered the Keynote at the Congress opening, while VPH Felix Reinders was the General Reporter. The outcomes and recommendations of the Micro Irrigation Congress were as follows: • •

•

Priority should be given to training farmers to adopt pressurized and microirrigation systems in countries with low literacy level of the farmers, There is an urgent need for extending and applying the results of the agricultural promoter’s researches to improve designs and to increase micro-irrigation systems efficiency in the field. Farmers should be educated while shifting from conventional surface irrigation to drip irrigation, especially in case of trees/ orchards to avoid any adverse impact on their growth. It should be recognized that sub-surface drip irrigation is more effective than the other drip irrigation systems in decreasing evaporation losses and deep percolation, especially in arid regions and light soils. Climate change and droughts should be seriously factored in design and operation using, local knowledge and modern technological information.

|28| Annual Report 2011-12

During the last 10 years local (micro) irrigation methods have been spread widely in Ukraine and some countries of the former Soviet Union. In Ukraine for example, since 2000 micro irrigation has increased tenfold and now it has expanded over 55 thousand ha. However, use of small-size micro irrigation often poses a number of technological, organizational and environmental problems. The main goals of the conference were to: a. familiarize the participants with the basic scientific and productive achievements in the field of drip irrigation; b. illustrate and discuss problems of small-scale micro irrigation and explore their solutions; and c. outline the promising directions and trends in the field of micro irrigation methods. Besides the conference, a very informative exhibition, where the manufacturers and suppliers of equipment for drip irrigation systems had a chance to exhibit and represent their novelties was organised. The conference participants appealed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of Ukraine and the State Agency on Water Resources of Ukraine to hold such a confernence on drip irrigation at every two years frequency.

REWARDING EXCELLENCE ICID launched its Global Water Saving (WatSave) program in the year 1993 with the objective of promoting and recognizing water conservation success amongst member countries. Working Group on Water Saving in Agriculture (WG-WATS) has been compiling and disseminating information on water saving/ conservation practices adopted by member countries world over through publications, website and organizing regional workshops.

WatSave Awards 2011 As a part of the WatSave activities, ICID instituted WatSave Awards in the year 1997. Four special WatSave Awards for Technology, Management, Young Professionals and Farmer are presented each year to an individual or a team of individuals for outstanding contributions to water conservation/water saving for increasing the beneficial and/or efficient use of water to develop and improve the sustainable use of the critical resource. Recipients of WatSave Awards for 2011 were as follows. Innovative Water Management Award Prof. Dr. Subhash M. Talley’s work on “Participatory Rainwater Conservation of Rainfed Agriculture of Vidarbha Region (Maharashtra), India” won the WatSave Innovative Water Management Award 2011. His work demonstrates as to how the crop productivity can be increased in rainfed areas by a package of measures like across-slope cultivation and furrows, which are designed to enhance soil moisture in-situ and also capture runoff in farm ponds for “lifesaving” irrigations during dry spells.

Technology Award Messrs Pieter S van Heerden and Charles T Crosby’s work on “SAPWAT 3: Irrigation Water Planning Tool” won them the WatSave Technology Award 2011. The software can be used for several purposes, but the saving of water could be achieved by way of reducing the irrigation depth from 500 mm (needed to fill the soil profile to field capacity) to 320 mm in order to provide the capacity to make better use of rainfall. Farmer Award Mr. Jerry Erstrom’s work on “The Willow Creek Piping Project” has won the WatSave Farmer Award 2011. He is the Chairman of a local Watershed Council and a Working Group of local growers concerned with the conversion of irrigation laterals to pipes, in order to reduce losses. The saving of water is considerable especially in the first month of irrigation in this dry high-desert region, and there are other benefits including the part conversion of the area to a gravity pressurized system.

ICID data (both for arable land and permanent crop (APC) and for drained areas)

Cemagref data (for drained area)

FAO data, 2008 (the APC area of other countries is used from http://faostat.fao.org/site/377/DesktopDefault.aspx? PageID=377#ancor>)

The total drained area in Ireland is 0.254 million ha, the total utilised agricultural area is 4.02 million ha. Apart from a very small area of Ireland that is irrigated on a commercial basis for crop production there are no major irrigation schemes in Ireland. Suggested figure for irrigated area in Ireland is 10,000 hectares. Source: Dr. Oliver Nicholson, Chairman, Irish National Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (IRCID), 28 June 2010

Statistics referred as "arable land" in Lithuanian registry as per 01.01.2010. The drained area slightly decreased as some of the area excluded from registry since that area has been completely depreciated and drainage no more functioning. Source: Prof.dr. Antanas Maziliauskas, President of Lithuanian National Committee (LICID), 26 June 2010.

The fact that the drained area is more than the APC area is a matter of definition. In the Netherlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; case the drained area includes areas with other functions such as drainage of meadows and urban areas. Source: Dr. Pol (A.L.) Hakstege, Secretary/ Treasurer, Netherlands National Committee
