Abstracts: The publication describes community water management as an increasingly important tool for management of this increasingly scarce and polluted resource. The study explores water resource dynamics in two watersheds in the middle mountains of Nepal. Through surveys, the authors track the water use patterns for agriculture and domestic use and highlight the way that changing scenarios will affect water availability. |

Abstracts: Water and energy are essential resources for human survival and well-being, mountain women in the Himalayas are finding it increasingly difficult to meet their daily water and energy needs in a sustainable manner. The paper documents the learnings from ‘Capacity Building of Women for Energy and Water Management in the Rural Areas of the Himalayas’, by ICIMOD. It attempts to draw attention towards interventions that can empower women to meet their water and energy needs in a way that frees them from excessive, time-consuming drudgery and allows them to increase their income and improve their status in society. |
