Twelve themes

• The Informal Preparatory Meeting for the
  establishment of the INWEPF in February 2004
  proposed 12 themes as the possible scope for
  future activities of the INWEPF.
• These proposed themes are
• Efficient and sustainable water use
  (Environmental, Social, Economic)
• Equitable and optimal water allocation/use to
  address poverty alleviation and food security at
  the global, regional and local levels. (rain-fed,
  irrigation)
• Multiple use and ecosystem functions (e.g.
  biodiversity conservation) of paddy fields,
  including social/ cultural aspects and governance
  arrangements.

18

• Measures to mitigate environmental degradation
  associated with paddy field production
  (chemicals, methane, water logging, salinity,
  groundwater contamination)
• Field-level rice production systems for improving
  water productivity through rice varieties and
  farming practices.
• Managing risks against flood, drought and
  salinization
• Governance, including Participatory Irrigation
  Management to increase capacity for integrated
  water resource management
• Policies and strategies for good governance for
  improving sustainable management of rice based
  systems with specific attention to water, land
  and environment

19

• Building stakeholders capacity
• Promoting farmers and other stakeholders
  participation in policy formulation,
  decision-making and project management (planning,
  construction, operation and maintenance)
• Promoting the application of countries
  experiences and innovative research results
• Creating and enhancing partnerships.
