The uncontrolled release of sewage, industrial wastes, and agricultural run-off continue to affect Asia. Although many Asian countries are getting closer to meeting the improved sanitation targets, much of the waste remains untreated. Comprehensive databases are rarely available and national data indicate that the water quality situation is serious. However, there are many signs of hope. Water quality monitoring efforts are improving and several countries now have systems in place that could guide other nations in the region. The efforts of basin agencies, such as the Mekong River Commission, could lead the way to transboundary or even regional assessments. Many regulatory and economic options are being tested for pollution control, but institutional and social challenges remain, in particular those related to population growth and the various ways in which it is affecting water quality across the region.

The AgWater Solutions Project, carried out between 2009 and 2012, focused on resolving water issues faced by smallholder farmers. The project examined existing Agricultural Water Management (AWM) solutions, together with factors that influence their adoption and scaling up. The project aimed to identify investment opportunities in AWM that have high potential to improve the incomes and food security of poor farmers. The work was undertaken in the African countries of Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia, and in the Indian States of Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. This Working Paper series summarizes results and recommendations from the research carried out in each of these countries and states.

Le projet AgWater Solutions, mis a execution entre 2009 et 2012, s'est interesse a la resolution des problèmes d'eau auxquels sont confrontes les petits exploitants agricoles. Le projet a examine les solutions existantes de Gestion de l'eau en agriculture (GEA), ainsi que les facteurs qui influent sur leur adoption et l'elargissement de leur utilisation. Son objectif etait de definir les opportunites d'investissement dans la GEA les plus prometteuses pour ameliorer les revenus et la securite alimentaire des agriculteurs pauvres. Les travaux ont ete entrepris dans plusieurs pays africains, Burkina Faso, Ethiopie, Ghana, Tanzanie et Zambie, et dans les etats indiens du Madhya Pradesh et du Bengale occidental. Ce document de travail resume les resultats et recommandations decoulant des recherches menees dans chacun de ces pays et etats.
