PRODWAT Announces Water Use Award

Award: Search for best case study on productive uses of water.

Organization: PRODWAT thematic group on productive uses of water

Amount: EUR 1000

Eligibility: Researchers, practitioners and students from the South working on a theme within the areas of interest of the PRODWAT group.

The PRODWAT Case Study Award will support further research on the best case study submitted to the PRODWAT website, and the author will be invited to present the results at one of the thematic group meetings.

Case studies should be on the multiple use of water services at the local scale emphasizing the negative or positive role of productive uses of water at the household/village/local level alongside traditionally recognized domestic uses. Possible topics might include the role of household water supplies in gardening and urban agriculture, for livestock, and for micro-enterprises. Case studies may emphasize technical, social, political, economic or institutional issues in water development and management for multiple uses at the local scale.

The winning case study will be announced before December 2005.
