Sally, Hilmy Merrey, Douglas J. This paper provides an overview of innovative options for developing and using water for food production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in light of the growing scarcity and competition for water resources. These options include rainwater harvesting, selective development of wetlands for agriculture, exploitation of shadow groundwater, and recycling urban waste. The options largely based on low-cost individualized technologies, which lend themselves to private-sector promotion. Water-demand management approaches are also discussed. 2003-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/faculty_research/6880 Faculty Research Work Animo Repository Water use—Africa, Sub-Saharan Water-supply—Africa, Sub-Saharan Agricultural and Resource Economics |
