Coping with water scarcity An action framework for agriculture and food security

I found the concept of multiple use system propagated by http://www.musgroup.net/ group quite handy
Same was applied in ongoing ground level research, sharing a success story on the intervention

food, water and energy; the three, interconnected resources vital to sustaining life on earth. Yet every year, 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water, 1.3 people billion live without electricity and over 1 billion people are hungry. As the world's population expands to nine billion by 2050, these statistics will only get worse if serious action is not taken. Thanks for sharing this report vish
