    The Yellow River Basin (YRB) Focal Project set out to study water poverty, water

    availability and access, water productivity, and water and related institutions in the

    Yellow River basin to develop and rank a series of high-priority interventions aimed at

    increasing water and food security for the poor, while maintaining environmental

    sustainability. The YBFP identified complex relations between water and poverty in the

    YRB; identified streamflow declines in the basin despite predicted higher rainfall;

    This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the

    series, to the Indus River basin in South Asia. The Indus Basin covers 3 countries, rises

    in the Tibetan plateau in the vicinity of Lake Mansarovar in China. Irrigated agriculture

    in the Basin is extensive with the construction of dams, barrages, and link canals to

    distribute water, with modern engineering to support irrigation starting as early as the

    mid 1800s.

    Net runoff is about 10% of total precipitation. Irrigated agriculture covers 20% of

    This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the series, to the Mekong River basin in Southeast Asia. The Mekong Basin covers six

    countries, the River rises in China, but there are substantial downstream tributaries

    from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and from a small area in Myanmar. A

    unique feature is the reverse flow from the Mekong to the Tonle Sap via the Tonle Sap

    River at the height of the wet season flow and its ebb as the river levels fall.

    This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the

    series, to the São Francisco basin in South America. The São Francisco Basin lies wholly

    within Brazil. There are several major dams and wetlands in the Basin.

    Net runoff is about 16% of total precipitation. Grassland is the most extensive land use,

    covering 59% of the Basin and uses 48% of the water. Rainfed agriculture covers 23%

    of the basin, but uses 14% of the water in the Basin. Forest and woodland cover 16% of

    This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the

    series, to the Yellow River basin in China. The Yellow River rises in the Bayan Har

    Mountains in Qinghai Province in western China, and empties into the Bohai Sea. A

    unique feature of the river is the large amount of silt it carries.

    Net runoff is about 14% of total precipitation. Forest and woodland cover 9% of the

    basin and use about 15% of the precipitation. Grassland covers much of the upper part

    This report is a synthesis of research implemented for the project on Wetlands-based livelihoods in the Limpopo basin: balancing social welfare and environmental security. The research was motivated by the dependency of many people on wetlands for their livelihoods. It was therefore founded on the basis that the potential of wetlands to contribute to livelihoods is closely related to their ability to maintain ecosytem functions (such as regulating river flows), which is a consequence of their unique hydrological characteristics.

    The project ‘Water Productivity Improvement of Cereals and Food Legumes in the Atbara Basin of Eritrea’ is an example of organization and implementation of farmers’ participatory research, conducted utilizing the available indigenous knowledge while empowering farming communities. Farmers have been partners in technology development with extension and research, with full decision-making power in planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.

    Most African countries underwent water legislation reform since the 1990s, through

    which existing plural legal systems were changed into nation-wide permit systems, in

    which the state acts as custodian of the nation’s water resources. Although globally

    heralded as the best way to manage water resources within the broader context of

    Integrated Water Resource Management, this project examines the problematic

    implications of the new laws for the majority of the rural and peri-urban poor. Since time

    Supported by the CPWF, this two-year project titled “Valuing the role of living aquatic

    resources to rural livelihoods in multiple-use, seasonally-inundated wetlands in the

    Yellow River Basin of China, for improved governance” focused on linking the use of

    wetlands resources by local communities and value of wetlands ecosystem services with

    management implications for the riverine and coastal wetlands in Henan and Shandong

    provinces. A study on this Chinese situation of pursuing a rapid development agenda
