Abstract

Climate-resilient irrigation is a necessity for sustainable development, aligning with broader goals of poverty alleviation, food security and environmental stewardship. By embracing adaptive strategies and fostering collaborative efforts, communities can navigate the challenges posed by a changing climate, safeguarding livelihoods and ecosystems. Climate-resilient irrigation can improve coping measures and build resilience for communities through pathways which help improve agriculture. The relationship between agriculture, irrigation, water resources and climate change calls for an evolution of traditional irrigation practices towards climate-resilient irrigation approaches, such as farmer-led irrigation development; innovation and modernization to ensure the long-term viability and functionality of irrigation systems and infrastructure; financing mechanisms to support the transition towards climate resilience; partnerships between governments, international organizations and the private sector to mobilize resources effectively; and efficient service delivery mechanisms, promoting equitable access and effective management of water resources. Emphasizing the need climate-resilient irrigation to balance food production and water security, this essay advocates a paradigm shift towards sustainable water management, ensuring resilience in the face of climate uncertainties while safeguarding agricultural productivity and environmental integrity for a livable planet.

适应气候变化的灌溉：在一个宜居的星球上平衡粮食生产和水安全的必要变革

适应气候变化的灌溉是可持续发展的必要条件，符合减贫、粮食安全和环境管理等更广泛的目标。通过采用适应战略和促进合作努力，社区可以应对气候变化带来的挑战，保护生计和生态系统。适应气候变化的灌溉可以改善应对措施，并通过有助于改善农业的途径为社区建立抵御能力。农业、灌溉、水资源和气候变化之间的关系要求传统灌溉方式向适应气候变化的灌溉方式发展，例如农民主导的灌溉发展；创新和现代化以确保灌溉系统和基础设施的长期生存能力和功能；支持向气候适应能力过渡的融资机制；政府、国际组织和私营部门之间的伙伴关系，以有效调动资源；以及高效的服务提供机制，促进水资源的公平获取和有效管理。本文强调需要气候适应型灌溉来平衡粮食生产和水安全，提倡向可持续水管理模式转变，确保面对气候不确定性的复原力，同时保障农业生产力和环境完整性，以实现宜居地球。

期刊介绍： Human intervention in the control of water for sustainable agricultural development involves the application of technology and management approaches to: (i) provide the appropriate quantities of water when it is needed by the crops, (ii) prevent salinisation and water-logging of the root zone, (iii) protect land from flooding, and (iv) maximise the beneficial use of water by appropriate allocation, conservation and reuse. All this has to be achieved within a framework of economic, social and environmental constraints. The Journal, therefore, covers a wide range of subjects, advancement in which, through high quality papers in the Journal, will make a significant contribution to the enormous task of satisfying the needs of the world’s ever-increasing population. The Journal also publishes book reviews.
