It is becoming a difficult trade-off for governments to manage. Agriculture accounts for around 70% of global water usage.Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:21:54 GMTNewshttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Water_Is_Way.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Water_Is_Way.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/How_to_fight.pdfAccording to Guest Editors David Molden and Charlotte de Fraiture, both from the International Water Management Institute, We cannot think of a more pressing question or a more challenging issue in our time.

Even if we solve the climate change issue tomorrow, we will still need sufficient food and fiber to support 9 billion people in 2050. To do this, we must manage land and water resources with great care and we must make wise investments and policy choices from today onward, with little room for making mistakes."Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:58:15 GMTNewshttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/One_Billion_are_Hungry.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/One_Billion_are_Hungry.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Regional_Water_Knowledge_Hub.pdfThe Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) was established in 1998 to conduct pragmatic and innovative strategic policy research to support sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.

Agriculture remains the predominant water user, but the linkage between water, agriculture and livelihoods is more complex than "water scarcity increases poverty".Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:52:06 GMTNewshttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Water-food_and_livelihoods.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Water-food_and_livelihoods.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Chinas_clever_water.pdfDavid Molden, deputy director-general for research at the International Water Management Institute (IMWI) in Sri Lanka, said that IMWI has found differences in water productivity between countries to be less clear cut than Baoguo's research suggests.Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:45:46 GMTNewshttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Chinas_clever_water.pdfhttp://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/news_room/pdf/Chinas_clever_water.pdf
