Book Description
Cabanaconde, a town of 5,000 people, is located in the arid Andean highlands. It is dominated by the foreboding Hualca Hualca mountain peak that is the source of this town's much-needed water. How the villagers obtain this water, Paul Gelles writes, is not a simple process: the politics of irrigation in this area reflect a struggle for control of vital resources, deeply rooted in the clash between local, ritualized models of water distribution and the secular model put forth by the Peruvian state. Water and Power in Highland Peru provides an insightful case study on the intense conflicts over water rights, and a framework for studying ethnic conflict and the effects of "development," not only in Peru, but in other areas as well. Most of the inhabitants of Cabanaconde do not identify themselves with the dominant Spanish-speaking culture found in Peru. And the Peruvian state, grounded in a racist, post-Colonial ethos, challenges the village's long-standing, non-Western framework for organizing water management. Gelles demonstrates that Andean culture is dynamic and adaptive, and it is a powerful source of ethnic identity, even for those who leave the village to live elsewhere. Indigenous rituals developed in this part of the world, he states, have become powerful tools of resistance against interference by local elites and the present-day Peruvian state. Most importantly, the micropolitics of Cabanaconde provide a window into a struggle that is taking place around the world.

Book Description
This report presents findings of an impact evaluation of a rural irrigation investment program with multiple components in coastal Peru. It addresses three questions: whether the program was effective, whether the program's multicomponent design contributed to its effectiveness, and whether the program had spillover effects. The primary audiences for this report are development practitioners engaged in designing similar projects, evaluators interested in using similar methodology, and the general evaluation community. The rest of this report is organized as follows. Chapter 1 briefly explains how irrigation projects transmit their impacts, identifies potential areas of concern for this type of project, and illustrates these with experiences in water-related projects around the world. Another section in this chapter provides some necessary background on the agricultural sector in Peru, past and present, and a brief description of the irrigation program and each of its components. Chapter 2 discusses the mixed-methods approach used in the impact evaluation, focusing on data description. Chapter 3 elaborates on the technical strategy used to identify impacts. Chapter 4 presents and discusses the findings. Chapter 5 presents concluding remarks.

Towards the rational use of high salinity tolerant plants
Author: Helmut LiethPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401118582
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
The symposium on high salinity tolerant plants, held at the University of Al Ain in December 1990, dealt primarily with plants tolerating salinity levels exceeding that of ocean water and which at the same time are promising for utilization in agriculture or forestry. The papers of the proceedings of this symposium have been published in two volumes. This volume (1) deals with mangroves and inland high salinity tolerant plants and ecosystems and is divided into the following categories: 1. Vegetation analyses and descriptions of mangroves; 2. Ecosystem analyses; 3. Physiological analyses; 4. Utilization of mangroves and saltmarsh plants; 5. Soil and water analyses. Volume 2 deals with the improvement of salinity tolerance for traditional crops under marginal soils and irrigation water and is published in `Tasks for Vegetation Science' series (TAVS) Vol. 28.
