(2000) Agarwal, Anil; de los Angeles, Marian S.; Bhatia, Ramesh; Chéret, Ivan; Davila-Poblete, Sonia; Falkenmark, Malin; Gonzalez-Villarreal, Fernando; Jønch-Clausen, Torkil; Aït Kadi, Mohammed; Kindler, Janusz; Rees, Judith A.; Roberts, Paul; Rogers, Peter; Solanes, Miguel; Wright, Albert
"The paper has been divided into two main parts. The first part puts forward a strong case for applying IWRM globally and defines the IWRM concept and process. The second part provides additional advice and guidance on how IWRM could be implemented in different conditions. Readers with limited time may decide to concentrate on the first part and use the second part for reference when needed. The paper is structured in such a way that an executive summary is not required. However, as a separate publication providing a short and popular summary the folder 'IWRM at a glance' is available."
Small-Scale Industries Drive India’s Economy But Pollute Heavily: What Can Be Done?
(2001) Agarwal, Anil
"Since independence, India has had strong policies to promote the small-scale industrial sector: it is labor intensive and thus creates more jobs, it contributes to decentralized industrial development and the units are flexible and able to quickly reorient themselves to emerging demands. In these units Western technological systems are getting adopted far and wide which produce enormous gaseous, liquid and solid wastes."
Workshop 4B: Water Harvesting--'Water: The Key to Socio-Economic Development and Quality of Life'
(1998) Ehlin, Ulf; Wijkman, Anders; Agarwal, Anil; Hazare, Anna; Zhu, Qiang; Narain, Sunia; Dunglena, Er.; Murase, Makoto; Mbugua, John
"This workshop presented us with a very hopeful message about the possibilities to use rainwater much more efficiently to benefit household needs, farming but also to avoid problems like flooding. People in India have harvested rain-water for centuries. But in recent time the authorities and water experts have diverted attention from rain-water harvesting to ground-water and surface-water. Hence traditional and often efficient harvesting represents an important potential, also for farming. An international network, bringing together all those involved in water-harvesting is strongly recommended in order to facilitate sharing of best practice and to transfer knowledge to regions where rain-water harvesting is still not part of the culture."
