Zoetwater Verhelderd

Overview local measures for freshwater availability

This study provides a summary of all local measures to improve freshwater accessibility to agriculture. The reference work entitled Zoetwater Verhelderd (Clarifying Fresh water) provides an overview of the various options, including the stage of development and costs. The list includes a diagram for each of the individual measures to explain how the measure works. In addition, it states whether the measures concern an adjustment to the system, the use or the management. This is relevant for an assessment framework for the measures and to those who have to implement the adjustments.

 

One of the objectives of this study, which was conducted as part of the Knowledge for Climate programme, was to develop a convenient method to compare innovative measures. A side-by-side list of the various measures provides clarity on their correlation and differences. This overview is a point of reference for comparing various adaptive measures and forms the basis for further research into the possibilities for self-sufficiency in areas affected by salinity and drought stress.
