Ecosystem, Communities and Climate

Improving and managing River Ecosystems so the organisms may persist in highly dynamic hydrological and    geomorphological variations and provide greater understanding of the emergent effects in communities of        river organisms. Water quality improvement and sanitation.

Climate Change Impacts on Hydrology Water Resources and Agriculture

Aquaculture and Environmental Impacts

Watershed Ecology Management and Ecosystem Restoration

Measures and solutions to recuperate from shocks and negative impacts of climate on agriculture system,         such as  severe storms, droughts and floods.

Maintaining the biodiversity and genetic diversity.

Improving Soil to build resilience and limit climate-related hazards and natural disasters;

Saving small holder farmers from exhausting scare resources and input, including cash, farm inputs and          livestock.

Natural Processes Biodiversity, degradation, sustainability

Managing rivers to reinstate natural processes to restore biodiversity

Reestablishment of natural physical processes eg. Variation of flow and sediment movement, features and             physical habitats of river system, including submerged bank and food plain areas.

Adaptation of appropriate mitigation technologies such as the cultivation of tolerant breeds to overcome the         climate stress.

Resilient agricultural practices, Conservation Agriculture / No-till Farming

Climate Change and Ecological Restoration

Conservation agricultural practices to build soil organic carbon and to build congenial environment for plant         growth, manure management

Restoration of Soil, Air and Water.

Water quality protection for better aquatic life and agriculture

Restoring degraded agriculture lands, agronomic and biological techniques. adopting sustainable methods;            for sustainable agriculture.

Nutrition for better health;

Sustainably and efficiently management of  Natural Resources;

Aquatic Ecosystems Maintenance and Preservation.

Knowledge sharing, Technology, Policy and Acts

Rivers as a living system, Water security, Conservation Technologies, models and data sharing

Using technology to modify natural environment for better yield of agricultural and horticultural crops.                  Genetic improvement of crops. Securing crops from pests and diseases and promoting appropriate                      measures for their control.
