Presentations
Coping with Extremes The impact of Water Supply Infrastructure on floods and drought and the implications for food security
This presentation from ICEM was given at the Mekong Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) 2013 Water, Energy and Food Forum – bringing together the key stakeholders including regional water resource planners, WSI operators and downstream communities. This was an opportunity for the team to present their findings and also for the key stakeholders to discuss and debate the findings to reach a common consensus on recommendations for design and operation of WSI to enhance their contribution to food security.
The presentation gives findings from CPWF MK12: The impact of Water Supply Infrastructure on floods and drought in the Mekong region and the implications for food security. MK12 is a project led by ICEM, working in partnership with the Institute of Water Resources Planning (IWRP – Vietnam), and the Enterprise Development Institute (EDI – Cambodia). This is a CPWF initiative, funded with a grant from Australia through AusAID. The project runs from January 2012—December 2013.
