abstract: 'Water is critically important to the livelihoods of more than I billion
people living on less than \$1 a day, particularly for the 850 million
rural poor primarily engaged in agriculture. In many developing
countries, water is a major factor constraining agricultural output, and
income of the world''s rural poor. Improved agricultural water management
can contribute to poverty reduction through several pathways. First,
access to reliable water improves production and productivity, enhances
employment opportunities and stabilizes income and consumption.
Secondly, it encourages the utilization of other yield-enhancing inputs
and allows diversification into high-value products, enhances nonfarm
outputs and employment, and fulfils multiple needs of households. Third,
it may contribute either negatively or positively to nutritional status,
health, societal equity and environment. The net impact of agricultural
water management interventions on poverty may depend individually and/or
synergistically on the working of these pathways. Improved access to
water is essential, but not sufficient for sustained poverty reduction.
Investments are needed in agricultural science and technology, policies
and institutions, economic reform, addressing global agricultural trade
inequities, etc. But how best to match the agricultural water management
technologies, institutions and policies to the needs of the
heterogeneous poor living in diverse agro-ecological settings remains
unclear. This article provides a menu of promising pathways through
which agricultural water management can contribute to sustained poverty
reduction. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier B.V.'
