With agriculture using 70% of global water supply, water management in agriculture sits at the center of many challenges in sustainable development. Water has a critical role to play across global agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and UNFCCC. Water relates to all SDGs as it’s key to human, economic and environmental activities. Water is also at the heart of climate change adaptation and its management needs to be scrutinized through a climate-resilience lens. Irrigation systems management must therefore re-look at the way water is being managed to achieving SDGs and address commitment to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under UNFCCC.
