Contribution of Water Management and Flood Protection to Food Security and Sustainable Development of Coastal and Deltaic Areas
2018
Schultz, Bart
In the field of irrigation, drainage and flood protection are two items crucial for the world's population, as well as for the work of the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) as a global association of professionals in the water sector. The first concerns the contribution of water management to food security and the second the impacts of man‐induced changes in land use and climate change on living and working in coastal and deltaic areas. These two items are presented in light of the rapidly changing and urbanizing world. The first item is mainly based on the work that was done with a great involvement of many specialists for the 6th and 7th World Water Forums and the second one on research by the author during the past decades.
