A ground-breaking event held in early July at Colombo, Sri Lanka, significantly advanced collective efforts to strengthen the knowledge environment on water-related challenges in the Indus Basin, home to more than 300 million people. Hosted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) and co-convened by the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the World Bank, the Forum brought together over a hundred researchers, government officials and development practitioners from Afghanistan, China, India and Pakistan, including international experts and partner representatives working on the Indus Basin.
Here you’ll find a short multimedia overview of the event, followed by interviews with selected participants, responding to this question: In the Indus Basin, what feature of the current knowledge landscape do you think is working best, and what new features would you like to see?

Population pressure and increasing water competition in a changing climate require us to take stock of the availability and use of water across scales. Water availability not only influences farmers’ commercial prospects but also irrigation-related enterprises and agri-businesses. Greater water scarcity could jeopardize irrigation and agricultural markets while excessive water use can lead to declining ecosystems, water quality and soil health. IWMI advises development partners and the public and private sectors on all aspects of water resource availability and use through a variety of advanced modeling and remote-sensing products and tools, including 
The ability of farmers to engage in or expand irrigation depends on the prevailing socioeconomic, ecological and political contexts, which are often complex, non-linear and changeable. Overcoming systemic barriers to farmer-led irrigation development while taking advantage of existing opportunities 
A lack of affordable credit, particularly for women and resource-poor farmers, is one of the main barriers to expanding farmer-led irrigation in low- and middle-income countries. But 
Scaling farmer-led irrigation requires strengthening human capacity and knowledge exchange among all actors and stakeholders involved. IWMI takes an action research approach, working with national and international research institutions, governments, extension agents and public and private organizations to co-develop the scaling ecosystem and strengthen capacity to drive scaling networks and collective action. We support the
