Item Contribution of integrated catchment and surface water management to livestock water productivity in pastoral production systems(Journal Article, 2012-05-30) Zziwa, Emmanuel; Mugerwa, S.; Owoyesigire, B.; Mpairwe, D.R.Seasonal water fluctuations both in quality and quantity negatively affect livestock production and subsequently reduce livestock-water productivity (LWP) in rainfed pastoral production systems. This study aimed at assessing the effects of improved catchment and surface water management on LWP and to establish whether the effects of integrated catchment and surface water management are additive, synergistic or counteractive. Three pastoral production systems of Uganda (settled, semi - settled and non - settled) were considered under three management interventions (improved catchment management, improved surface water management and integrated catchment and surface water management) taking the base scenario as a control. Beneficial livestock outputs (p = 0.155), depleted water (p = 0.76) and LWP (p = 0.488) were not significantly different across production systems but were higher in settled and least in non - settled production systems. Improving catchment management increased LWP by 180%, 458 % and 142% while improving surface water management increased LWP by 62%, 165% and 60% in settled, semi - settled and non - settled production systems. Integrated catchment and surface water management increased LWP by 353%, 518% and 280% in settled, semi - sett led and non - settled production systems respectively. The effects of practicing integrated catchment and surface water management were hence synergistic and not additive. There exists a great potential for improving LWP in water stressed pastoral productio n systems of Uganda by reducing the amount of water depleted in production of animal products through practicing integrated catchment and surface water management interventions as well as increased utilization of crop residues in livestock feeding .Item Identifying Strategies for Increasing Livestock Water Productivity in the Blue Nile Basin(Book Chapter, 2013-03-21) CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and FoodItem Upper catchment management and water cover plants effects on the quality and quantity of water in surface reservoirs(Conference Paper, 2008) Zaake, B.; McCartney, Matthew P.Item Challenges and opportunities for the livestock industry in East and Central Africa: Strategic priorities for research(Conference Paper, 2005-09-05) Ndikumana, J.; Kamide, R.Item Livestock water interactions and productivity in Sudan(Working Paper, 2010) Faki, H.; Peden, Donald G.Item Livestock and water productivity and use in the Nile Basin(Working Paper, 2010) Breugel, P. van; Herrero, Mario; Peden, Donald G.Item Beyond fetching water for livestock: A gendered sustainable livelihood framework to assess livestock-water productivity(Conference Paper, 2005-09-05) Hoeve, E. van; van Koppen, BarbaraItem Livestock production systems in relation to water resource development and productivity in Ethiopia(Conference Paper, 2005-09-05) Kumsa, T.; Alemayehu, M.Item Catchment water balance for Blue Nile river basin(Thesis, 2006) Tesfahun, D.Item Integrating land and water management in smallholder livestock systems in sub Saharan Africa(Book Chapter, 2008-06-17) Amede, Tilahun; Haileslassie, Amare; Blümmel, Michael; Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele; Peden, Donald G.Item GIS-based multicriteria decision analysis for land suitability modeling of livestock production in Tana Subbasin Ethiopia(Conference Paper, 2008) Alemayehu, A.; Legesse, D.; Peden, Donald G.; Tadesse, G.Item Water–use efficiency for food production through better livestock management in the Sudan(Conference Paper, 2005-11-05) Ahmed, F.A.; Wakeel, A. el; Musa, M.T.; Babo Fadlalla, B.; Hussain Faki, H.Item Nile Basin livestock water productivity(Report, 2009-11-15) Peden, Donald G.; Alemayehu, M.; Amede, Tilahun; Awulachew, Seleshi Bekele; Faki, H.; Haileslassie, Amare; Herrero, Mario; Mapedza, Everisto D.; Mpairwe, D.R.; Musa, M.T.; Taddesse, G.; Breugel, P. vanPN37 (Increasing Water-Use Efficiency for Food Production through Better Livestock Management - The Nile River Basin) set out to improve food security, reduce poverty and enhance agroecosystem health by managing livestock for more effective overall use of water. PN37 responded to water challenges posed by the CPWF, to the Nile Basin Initiative’s goal of better sharing benefits of water use, and to global need for the livestock sector to use agricultural water more efficiently and effectively. PN37 identified opportunities to increase livestock water productivity (LWP) in key production systems of Ethiopia, Sudan and Uganda. In all countries and systems, the research revealed important opportunities to increase LWP through site-specific sets of interventions including improved feed sourcing, enhanced animal production, water conservation, and strategic provisioning of drinking water. It concludes that better integration of livestock, crop, water, and land management can sustainably enhance livelihoods of many poor people throughout the Nile Basin and beyond that across much of sub-Saharan Africa.Item Options for increasing livestock water productivity in the Nile basin(Presentation, 2008-11-17) Peden, Donald G.; Alemayehu, M.; Amede, Tilahun; Faki, H.; Haileslassie, Amare; Herrero, Mario; Mpairwe, D.R.; Taddesse, G.; Breugel, P. vanItem Water and livestock for human development(Book Chapter, 2007-02-28) Peden, Donald G.; Tadesse, G.; Misra, A.K.; Awad Amed, F.; Astatke, A.; Ayalneh, W.; Herrero, Mario; Kiwuwa, G.H.; Kumsa, T.; Mati, Bancy M.; Mpairwe, D.R.; Wassenaar, T.; Yimegnuhal, A.Item Towards an understanding of livestock water productivity in the Nile River Basin(Presentation, 2005-11-27) Astatke, A.; Peden, Donald G.; Sonder, Kai; Ayalneh, W.; Tadesse, G.; Kiwuwa, G.H.; Ahmed, F.; Abdel-Meguid, M.; Kumsa, T.Item Improving livestock water productivity under changing climate(Presentation, 2008-05-17) Oweis, Theib Y.; Peden, Donald G.
