Courses and educational tools in the Arab region :
• General guide for teachers in the Arab Countries and Water Education workshops for teachers with UNESCO Cairo: development of interactive activities related to school students. Regional workshops on “Water Education Training for Teachers” (Egypt, September 2016 and March 2017), and a regional training (Egypt, August 2017) to present the guidelines.
Online survey 2017 on Youth Employment and Unemployment in the Water Sector: helped formulating policy recommendations and dedicated IHP activities: received more than 700 responses.
Continuous involvement of youth in global meetings :
6th Africa Water Week (AWW) : side event “Fostering SDG8: Innovative Job Creation and Young Water Professionals Role” , Youth Forum at the Budapest Water Summit, events at COP22, Regional Youth Parliament for Water for LAC, events at 8th World Water Forum.
Past and Current activitiesEducational Tools & Youth involvement
Water EducationWeb Tools & Open-Source initiatives

management and enable greater cooperation among water regulators, operators and users.
Coordination and data management of all training activities for IHP and the Water Family
• Water Education is also collecting and gathering
data from IHP and the Water Family concerning all
Training and/or capacitating activities.
• Last year, 15. 320 people were trained through to
579 IHP activities in 96 countries, thanks to our
large pool of experts and a solid network !
Challenges & future developments
What are the remaining Challenges ? • Sustainable development based on innovation requires a critical mass of human
resources
• Capacities for uptake and development of technology and innovation is not given
• Obtain and collect data on capacity building to have a clear picture of the state of water
education at all levels
• Develop and promote bottom-up education strategies related to water issues
• Education both formal and informal requires a multi and transdisciplinary approach
• Stay youth-inclusive with a continuous focus on gender equality
• Engage mass media in awareness raising campaigns and programs

Small-scale agriculture productivity and efficient
irrigation in Southern Africa –
a two-pronged approach:
• SWM technologies monitor soil moisture and nutrients in
real time and facilitate farmer learning about irrigation water
management to increase yield. (Zimbabwe, Mozambique,
Tanzania)
• Agricultural Innovation Platforms (AIPs), bring key
stakeholders together to develop solutions to turn increased
yield into increased profitability.

uploaded when the reader comes into Wi-Fi contact. In this way, the farmer sees the data in
the field when recorded, but at the same time, the process records the entire season’s colour
pattern online. Farmers can access this pattern through their phone, but they also record the
data in their field books.
Colour provides a common language about a plant’s ability to extract moisture from the soil.
Importantly, because the sensors measure soil tension, calibration is not required and the
‘language’ is independent of soil type: however, soil type will influence how quickly the colour
changes from blue to green to red. Information on water availability enables farmers to avoid
water stress, waterlogging and fertilizer leaching and learn about the value of rainfall. Farmers
receive information to make better irrigation decisions and understand the seasonal progres-
sion of crop root depth and moisture needs in the soil profile.

Figure 7. Farmer demonstrating the use of the Chameleon r eader at Kiwere scheme
The second device is the FullStop, which enables the measurement of soil nitrate and salt
levels. The funnel-shaped devices are buried at approximately one third and two-thirds of the
expected depth of the crop’s root system (Figure 8). As water moves down the soil profile and
reaches the wetting front detector, it is funnelled into one or both of the devices depending
on three factors: amount of water applied, soil type and initial soil moisture. When suf icient
moisture enters the device the indicator above the surface rises. The indicator is magnetically
latched in the up position to tell the farmer that a soil water sample has been captured. This
water sample is then extracted (using a rubber tube and syringe) and tested for nitrates (using
colour test strips) and salinity (using a modified electrical conductivity meter that also uses
colour through lights). The team is in the process of developing an automated version of the
FullStop that works in a similar manner t o the Chameleon sensor.

Small-scale agriculture productivity and efficient
irrigation in Southern Africa – some measured
benefits:
• Many farmers have experienced significant yield and
income increases resulting in increased food security and
prosperity.
• The time saved through reduced irrigation frequency has
been invested in further improving yields and/or diversifying
income streams: by establishing and engaging in small
businesses and other non-farm income earning activities

Small-scale agriculture productivity and efficient irrigation in
Southern Africa –
both prongs are essential:
• The soil monitoring tools are sophisticated but simple-to-use SWM
technologies that support a farmer-centred learning system.
• The AIP draws from systems thinking, it promotes learning process by
bringing together stakeholders with a shared interest, builds capacity and
networks, and facilitates a dialogue to identify critical barriers and
appropriating hard and soft technologies to improve profitability.

Project introduction
Conclusions:
• As SWM is still an emerging field these projects demonstrate the
untapped potential of what can be achieved using innovative SWM
technology and solutions, from integrated smart cities to poor rural
villages.
• As the field progresses and technologies evolve, the potential for SWM
adoption across all contexts will continue to grow, leading to increased
opportunities for both developed and developing regions, and innovative
solutions for our current water challenges.
www.iwra.org/swm
Project introduction
Conclusions:
• Now that a wider number of smart tools are on the market, integrated
smart networks will start to emerge, and with them increasing
opportunities for sustainable cities and regions to integrate their various
smart infrastructure, such as smart energy grids.
• While retrofitting existing cities is possible, the opportunity offered by
urbanization and the creation of new cities and suburbs means that
these new urban environments offer the greatest potential for smart
technology integration.
www.iwra.org/swm
Project introduction
Conclusions:
• SWM solutions are not just for wealthy countries or for urban centres.
They have the potential to have proportionally even greater impacts in
poor rural environments.
• When implementing SWM solutions, never forget the human element.
Social benefits are by far the greatest, but a lack of community support
or capacity building can be barriers to success.
