In this article the authors assess the potential impacts of projected climate change on water, livelihoods and food security in the Basin Focal Projet basins. The authors consider expected change within the context of recently observed climate variability in the basins to better understand the potential impact of expected change and the options available for adaptation. They use multi-global circulation model climate projections for the AR4 SRES A2a scenario, downscaled and extracted for each basin. They find significant differences in the impacts (both positive and negative impacts) of climate change, between and within basins, but also find large-scale uncertainty between climate models in the impact that is projected.

For the purpose of examining on role of irrigation and cultivation system to paddy ecosystem, we study species and number of Odonata larvae and analyze the stable isotope ratios of the Odonata larvae and the plankton/detritus in water of paddy fields and irrigation ponds. As a results, cultivation system clearly effects to composition of species and number of Odonata larvae. delta sup(13)C indicates that Orthetrum albistylum speciosum larvae and Coenagrionidae spp. larvae which are dominant species in paddy water, depend on specified food sources, each other. delta sup(15)N shows that the trophic level of Odonata larvae is higher than that of the plankton/detritus in paddy water. It is considered that analyze the stable isotope ratios application is effective to examine water ecosystem and food web in paddy.
