Descripción
The brief “Promoting productive water use and efficient water management in paddy fields” synthetizes the conclusions of the project “Efficient agricultural water use and management enhancement in paddy fields”. The brief summarizes the project objectives, the situation of paddy production in the participating countries, the lessons learnt from the assessment of paddy production in the context of agricultural water management, and the future actions.
Funded by the Government of Japan, Phase I of the project is implemented by the Land and Water Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with partners and national institutions in Sri Lanka and Zambia. The project is expected to increase the understanding of the current status of water use efficiency and water productivity in the two countries, identifying both limits and potentials at national level. The analysis forms a base in assisting countries with technical and policy support to enhance water resources management in paddy fields. Strategies and investment portfolios are developed to ensuring the scaling-up and replication of the results within and outside the target countries and regions.
