Water productivity can be defined in various ways: in biophysical water productivity (yield per unit of water consumed, kg/m3), economic water productivity (financial returns per unit of water consumed, $/m3), and social objectives (stability, equity, employment, food security, etc.). Each definition reveals another piece of the puzzle, but all of them are needed to provide a complete view of water productivity.
This masterclass webinar (July 01, 2020) from WaterPIP is aimed at introducing different definitions of water productivity and how each definition informs a complex debate. After the completion of this webinar, you will acquire a holistic understanding of the interconnections and trade-offs between different types of water productivity. You will also become familiar with a framework for assessing different policy strategies related to water productivity.
This webinar series is supported by the Water Productivity Improvement in Practice (WaterPIP) project, which is supported by the Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands under the DGIS UNESCO-IHE Programmatic Cooperation (DUPC)
