Water Saving / conservation in irrigated agriculture has become increasingly important for adequate food production, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. ICID, through its WatSave Work Team (WT-WATS) strives to promote water saving programmes to enhance sustainable development of irrigated agriculture worldwide. The CD-ROM presents a compilation of various activities carried out by ICID in this subject during last five years. It contains two popular publications entirely, viz. WatSave Activities; Some Lessons and Experiences? and WatSave Scenario published in 1995 and 1998, respectively. WatSave Award winning papers from China, Egypt, and Spain, and papers presented in the ?International WatSave Workshop? held at Cape Town, South Africa in October 2000 are also included. The CD-ROM provides an insight into the state-or-art on water saving measures/practices adopted and planned by ICID member countries.
