    There are many options for enhancing food production from fish in managed aquatic systems.The most appropriate technology, however, will vary from place to place, and the conditions under which one technology is prefered over another are still not well defined.

    This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the

    series, to the São Francisco basin in South America. The São Francisco Basin lies wholly

    within Brazil. There are several major dams and wetlands in the Basin.

    Net runoff is about 16% of total precipitation. Grassland is the most extensive land use,

    covering 59% of the Basin and uses 48% of the water. Rainfed agriculture covers 23%

    of the basin, but uses 14% of the water in the Basin. Forest and woodland cover 16% of

    The CPWF-supported project ‘Models for implementing multiple-use water supply

    systems for enhanced land and water productivity, rural livelihoods and gender equity’

    (‘CPWF-MUS’) innovated, tested, and documented homestead-scale and communityscale

    models for Multiple Use water Services in 30 rural and peri-urban sites in 8

    countries: the Andes (Bolivia and Colombia), Indus-Ganges (India, Nepal), Limpopo

    (South Africa and Zimbabwe), Mekong (Thailand) and Nile (Ethiopia). Learning alliances

    The Sustaining inclusive Collective Action that Links across Economic and Ecological Scales in upper watersheds (Scales) project fits mainly in People and Water in Catchments Theme (Theme

    2) of the CPWF. Its goal is to contribute to poverty alleviation in the upper watersheds of the

    tropics through improved collective action for watershed resource management within and across

    social-spatial scales. Scales worked though an integrated program of collaborative action

    research, development, and capacity building in key catchments of the Nile and Andes basins, as

    This project aims to increase agricultural productivity, incomes, and sustainable management of

    land and water by small farmers in the rural Sierra region of Peru. Although results demonstrate

    the effectiveness of increased productivity and commercialization of high value agricultural

    commodities, this type of activity may be limited to certain parts of the watershed with access to

    irrigation and startup capital. Interventions promoting commercialization, such as those of

    The knowledge and principles generated by CPWF-PN15 confirm that QSMAS can be a model production system for implementing conservation agriculture to achieve food security and sustainable development in drought-prone areas of hillsides in the sub-humid tropics, while providing ecosystem services in the face of land degradation and climate change. As an adoptable option to replace the slash and burn traditional system, QSMAS can improve smallholder livelihoods through eco-efficient use and conservation of natural resources.
