“…The causes of this situation should be sought in anthropogenic activities which have led to water deficits in both a direct way (land reclamation) and an indirect way (through changes in the land-use pattern, and hence in the individual components of the water balance). Human impact is a key element responsible for water deficits in many parts of the world (Ismaiylov et al, 2007;Demin, 2014). Poland is no exception here, intensive reclamation going back here to the 17th century with the start of so-called Dutch colonisation.…”

Water deficits observed in many regions of the world make it necessary to implement measures intended to improve this situation. Poland is one of the countries with the poorest water resources in Europe due to its natural conditions and human impact. As a result of land reclamation carried out over decades, many elements of its hydrographic system have been changed, and some of them, like lakes, have disappeared altogether. In the days of the socioeconomic transformation and more frequent extreme events, what seems worth considering is the renaturalisation of non-existing lakes, an idea presented in this paper on a selected example.

“…Nearly half of the world water resources (47%) is in the American continent, while 5% is in Australia and Oceania and 6% is in Europe. Respectively, Asia and Africa share 32% and 10% of the world water resources (Demin, 2014). The country with the largest available water resources is Brazil (8,233Km3/year ) and the country with the least available water resource is Kuwait (0.02 Km3/year) (Demin, 2014).…”

“…The total available freshwater produced by the hydrological cycle is adequate for the current population but the world water distribution is uneven due to countries' formation of physiographic and climate conditions (Demin, 2014). Most of the available water is in specific regions, leaving other areas facing water insufficiency (Qadir et al, 2003).…”

Water Dependency and Livelihoods of Rice Farmers in Doung Khpos commune, Cambodia

<p>Although the livelihoods of the households in Doung Khpos commune are encompassed of different strategies, the dominant one is rice farming. The main water sources for rice farming in Doung Khpos commune are rainwater and canals, both of which are constrained by either seasonality or functionality. With unreliable water supplies for rice farming and frequent drought, water dependent livelihoods are exposed to higher threats. Due to the non-availability and unpredictability of rainwater, the lack of water in the canals or the water commodification, some rice farmers were not able to grow rice all year round. The household income was reported to decrease; meanwhile some households had to borrow money to cover the household expenses. Some rice farmers coped with the household financial shortages by reducing the amount of food intake or asked the children to help with income generating activities which inevitably force them to skip or quit school. The growth and development of children could be impacted owing to the household economic insufficiency. The majority of the rice farmers did not have solutions to cope with the water challenges for rice farming. With limited coping mechanism or capacity to deal with frequent flood and drought, in conjunction with no support in relation to water for rice farming from any stakeholders, the vulnerability of the rice farmers in Doung Khpos commune is high. Improved water management, capacity building to the local community on climate change adaptation and disaster preparedness and water governance, are believed to enhance the livelihoods of the rice farmers in Doung Khpos commune.</p>
