Under "increasing water scarcity" it is argued that (1) present schemes for the provision of portable water to rural populations in developing countries are terrible, inefficient, absorbing vast resources and experiencing high failure rates; (2) conflicts between irrigation and hydro-power which emerged in the 1960's have been given a sudden twist by the international petroleum situation and need to be re-evaluated; (3) there are increasing concerns about the trade-offs between consumptive water uses in agriculture and the maintenance of coastal ecosystems, including valuable fisheries; (4) water related development projects often have the effect of worsening the already skewed distribution of wealth. Environmental considerations do not receive high priority in LDC's. Yet, industrial developments and urban population concentrations are having highly detrimental environmental impacts which need to be controlled and/or taken into account in planning. The development of other natural resources requires less water than commonly assumed. Horticultural and dryland opportunities which use very small quantities of water are widely overlooked. The incredibly important problems of range management under traditional (tribal) social systems are closely geared to water management. While high value mineral development can bear very high water costs, new low value mineral-water combinations are needed to broaden the relevant resource bases for the semi-arid LDC's.
