Socio-economic valuation of water reallocation: Framework development and application in South Africa
This paper introduces a socio-economic valuation framework for water reallocation that integrates considerations of equity, efficiency, and sustainability into decision-making. Designed to inform the development and implementation of policy in contexts of water scarcity and historical inequality, the framework systematically incorporates both direct economic benefits and externalities, such as poverty alleviation, food security, and inequality re…
Restoring the Commons: A Gendered Analysis of Customary Water Tenure in Sub-Saharan Africa
Customary water tenure in low-and middle-income rural areas has received limited academic, policy, and legal attention as yet. This paper seeks to conceptualize and analyse gender-differentiated living customary water tenure, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa. Extensive literature review suggests four gendered domains: first, water needs and uses; second, strategies to meet those needs by directly accessing water sources, and, with increasing wealth…
Redressing legal pluralism in South Africa’s water law
During apartheid, South Africa formalized legal pluralism as territorial and institutional segregation that legitimized the white minority’s grab of most land, water and mineral resources. In the homelands on the remaining 13% of the country, allied tribal chiefs controlled second-class customary land and water rights. Under the democratic dispensation, the new Constitution (1996) and National Water Act (1998) aim at redressing this racial discri…
Environmental associated emotional distress and the dangers of climate change for pastoralist mental health
Pastoralists in the Horn of Africa are among the most vulnerable populations to climate change yet little is known about how environmental change shapes their wellbeing and mental health. This paper presents a formative study into the relations between emotion, wellbeing and water security among pastoralist communities in Afar, Ethiopia. It uses focus group and interview data to demonstrate the close relationship between environmental conditions …
Gender in Irrigated Farming: A Case Study in the Zerafshan River Basin, Uzbekistan
The division of Central Asia into several independent states, and the transition from the centrally planned economy to a market economy in the majority of those states, affected all sectors and all social levels in the region. One such example is irrigation. Centrally planned and financed from Moscow, on-farm irrigation systems were managed by collective farms. The process of decentralization through the dismantling of collective farms led to a r…
