One irrigation subsector goal of the Asian Development Bank is to produce more food with less water. Estimates suggest that food production in the developing world must double by. By that year, urban and industrial water demand will have increased from 20% of total regional demand to 40% (about 80% of that water demand is for irrigation). This publication helps define core support areas in the irrigation subsector and set the course for country partnership strategy investments in irrigation for lending and nonlending assistance. See how this guidance note can assist and strengthen the preparation of projects that increase food productivity and security, use water within the resource availability limits, and produce long-term benefits.
