This paper reports on a form of multi-criteria analysis that provides a formal approach for evaluating the suitability of a wetland for specific agricultural uses, and ensures that explicit consideration is given to the possible consequences of such utilization. The method is based on a hybrid of ideas taken from concepts and methodologies related to: environmental flow assessments, land suitability classification and the hazard evaluation procedures used in the design of dams. The approach, which elaborates the idea of working wetlands, is generic, though the examples presented are for case studies from southern Africa.

The increasing water scarcity and food demand has put enormous pressure on water management in the Limpopo basin, where rainfed agriculture predominates. This study analyzed basin water consumption against precipitation generated from remote sensing imagery integrated with weather data, which was linked to crop water productivity maps. The time series actual ET (ETa) and reference ET (ETo) maps were then overlaid together with precipitation data from Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) to assess the evolution of water balance components in the basin. The relation between water balance components and water productivity were then analyzed to assess the factors affecting water productivity and the scope for improvement. The basin average ETa is 779 mm, only 46% of ETo. The ETa of cropland varies significantly across the basin, which is attributed to varying water availability conditions. The basin crop water productivity is very low with great variation, which could be explained by low yields as a result of variable rainfall patterns and lack of other production inputs. The fluctuant prices of maize at local market also had significant impact on water productivity.

An international project called ‘WETwin’ has been launched in June 2008 within the frame of the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission (EC). The overall objective of the project is to enhance the role of wetlands in basin-scale integrated water resources management, with the aim of improving the community service functions while conserving good ecological status. Strategies will be identified for:
· utilizing the drinking water supply and sanitation potentials of wetlands for the benefit of people living in the basin, while maintaining the ecosystem functions
· adapting wetland management to changing environmental conditions
· integrating wetlands into river basin management
· improving stakeholder participation and capacity building with the aim of supporting sustainable wetland management.
The project will work on 'twinned' case study wetlands from Europe, Africa and South America. Management solutions will be worked out for these wetlands with the aim of supporting the achievement of the above objectives. Knowledge and experiences gained from these case studies will be summarized in general guidelines aiming to support integrated wetland management on global scale. Stakeholder participation, capacity building and dissemination will be essential components of the project.
