World Water Day is a stark reminder of how precious fresh water is, especially considering that the annual amount of available freshwater resources per person has declined by more than 20 percent in the past two decades.
Agriculture is the world’s largest user of fresh water and rainwater, accounting for about 70 percent of global withdrawals. Yet, sustainable agriculture offers a solution through improved water use efficiency.
Jordan, Nepal and Pakistan have made valuing water a national priority and are taking steps to improve the way water is collected and used in agriculture. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is leading three Green Climate Fund (GCF) projects in these countries to increase water use efficiency in food production and to boost rural communities’ access to water resources.
