Globally, most food is produced using soil moisture that comes from precipitation (i.e., “green” water). Moreover, most of the water that reaches plants in irrigated systems also stems from precipitation. Despite this, irrigation (or “blue”) water has typically been the focus for policy analysis, largely because it is possible for humans to manipulate blue water. This paper analyzes alternative water futures using a combined green and blue water accounting framework embedded within the water simulation components of IFPRI’s International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT). Future scenarios recently developed for the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) and other studies are assessed with respect to this adjusted green/blue water accounting framework. The results reveal that accounting explicitly for green water resources broadens the scope of options for decision-makers who are seeking to improve agricultural production in the face of rising food and energy prices, a degrading water and land resource base, and increasing demands. This analysis highlight the importance of green/blue water accounting and presents a wider range of agricultural science and technology policy options for increasing global crop productivity across a span of potential futures.

Before indigenous practices and institutions can be evaluated, they first have to be identified, described and characterized. This tool describes the methods used to answer a specific question: “Which indigenous practices, legal frameworks and institutions are most conducive to equitable, win-win, and pro-poor investments within sub-Saharan African transboundary basins”? It describes case studies on transboundary issues and local water governance institutions from the Volta & Limpopo Basins.

This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the series, to the Limpopo River Basin in Southern Africa. The Limpopo Basin rises in South Africa and flows northwest along the border with Botswana and Zimbabwe before crossing Mozambique to enter the Indian Ocean. Rainfall in the basin varies between 200 and 1500 mm, with much of the northern and western parts receiving less than 500 mm. Rainfall is strongly seasonal, with a short rainy season leading to negligible river flows in the dry season.
Net runoff from the basin is about 2% of the water received as precipitation. Grassland covers 57% of the Basin and uses about 53% of the available water. Rain fed agriculture covers 40% of the Basin and uses 40% of the available water. The area of irrigated agriculture is small and uses less than 1% of the available water. Although industrial water use in the Upper Olifants River is important locally, it accounts for only 0.3% of the total available water.
Climate change, using an assumed decrease of 7.5% in precipitation overall would reduce discharge of the basin by 25%. A proposed dam in Mozambique to irrigate 1000 km would likely reduce downstream flows in normal years, but would probably not prevent floods like those of 2000.
