Contested Waterscapes in the Mekong Region
Author: François Molle
Publisher: Earthscan
ISBN: 1849770867
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
The water resources of the Mekong river catchment area, from China, through Thailand, Cambodia and Laos to Vietnam, are increasingly contested. Governments, companies and banks are driving new investment in roads, dams, diversions, irrigation schemes, navigation facilities, power plants and other emblems of conventional "development." Their plans and interventions pose multiple burdens and risks to the livelihoods of millions of people dependent on wetlands, floodplains, fisheries and aquatic resources.

Study Report on Wetland Agriculture and Water Management in the Mekong Region
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251330956
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Under FAO initiative on eco-friendly water management for sustainable wetland agriculture, the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), as the service provider, prepared the Study Report on Wetland Agriculture and Water Management in Mekong Region study report on wetland agriculture and water management in the Mekong Region for further program formulation. The overall objective is to review the current water management in relation to agriculture and identify the good practices and experiences of water management as a win-win solution for agriculture production and wetland conservation and recommend program formulation on eco-friendly water management for sustainable wetland agriculture. The expected outcome of the overall initiative is sustainable use of wetland to stress both productive and ecological functions of agriculture. The outputs aim to provide the solution as a win-win strategy for wetland and agriculture through eco-friendly water management, which will contribute to the ecological health, function and integrity of the Mekong Wetland Agriculture Ecosystem. Country consultation workshops were conducted for Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam to increase awareness on the issues of sustainable wetland management, and identify the threats, gaps and needs, priorities, and way forward towards sustainable use of wetlands in the Mekong Region.

Case studies for sustainable wetland agriculture and related water management in China, Thailand, and Viet Nam
Author: Li, H., Leshan, J., Wyatt, A., Trisurat, Y.
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251376107
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The three case studies address different issues in different countries. All case studies attempt to provide incentives and trade-off mechanisms that are mutually beneficial for both agricultural production and the environment. Thailand organic rice cultivation and Viet Nam flood-based cropping systems are the examples on market mechanisms; while China case and Thailand floods control are government/policy driven. All case studies draw on extensive desk reviews and field studies.

Life, Fish and Mangroves
Author: Melissa Marschke
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 0776619861
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
In Life, Fish and Mangroves, Melissa Marschke explores the potential of resource governance, offering a case study of resource-dependent village life. Following six households and one village-based institution in coastal Cambodia over a twelve-year period, Marschke reveals the opportunities and constraints facing villagers and illustrates why local resource management practices remain delicate, even with a sustained effort. She highlights how government and business interests in community-based management and resource exploitation combine to produce a complex, highly uncertain dynamic. With this instructive study, she demonstrates that in spite of a significant effort, spanning many years and engaging many players, resource governance remains fragile and coastal livelihoods in Cambodia remain precarious.
