Water System Innovations (WSIs) viz. in situ moisture conservation, rain/runoff Water harvesting, efficient irrigation methods and precision agriculture are successfully introduced in Sub-Saharan Africa as opportunities to improve food production and water availability. Large scale adoption of these techniques demand suitable site selection based on bio-physical and socio-economic parameters. In this study, remote sensing and GIS techniques together with field investigations were used to identify potential sites for adoption of WSIs in Pangani river basin of Tanzania. Based on field surveys and remote sensing data, spatial information like hydronomic zones, bio-physical and socioeconomic parameters was generated and the suitability criteria for each WSI were developed. Analytical Hierarchical Processing and Pairwise Comparison Method were used for parameter weighting. The Model builder and Weighted Overlay Function of ARC GIS were used to develop the Multi-Criteria Evaluation model in GIS. Potential sites for adoption of WSIs were identified and validated in reference to field parameters.

The lack of sufficient access to clean water is a common problem faced by communities, efforts to alleviate poverty and gender inequality and improve economic growth in developing countries. While reforms have been implemented to manage water resources, these have taken little notice of how people use and manage their water and have had limited effect at the ground level. On the other hand, regulations developed within communities are livelihood-oriented and provide incentives for collective action but they can also be hierarchal, enforcing power and gender inequalities. This book shows how bringing together the strengths of community-based laws rooted in user participation and the formalized legal systems of the public sector, water management regimes will be more able to reach their goals. Evaluating the interface between community and formal water laws, chapters consider examples from Africa, Latin America and Asia and provide valuable insights for policy makers, managers, researchers and field implementers.
