About the book >.>.> There is broad consensus on the need to improve water management and to invest in water for food to make substantial progress on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The role of water in food and livelihood security is a major issue of concem in the context of persistent poverty and continued environmental degradation. Although there is considerable knowledge on the issue of water management, an overarching picture on the water-food-livelihoods-environment nexus is required to reduce uncertainties about management and investment decisions that will meet both food and environmental security objectives.
