It provides background on the current state of supply and reviews recent and ongoing research and development projects. One selected project, designed and conducted by the authors, is outlined in detail. The research findings, project implementation, and evaluation are intended to provide development practitioners, policy makers, and applied researchers with experience from the field. At the core of this Brief is the integration of technical and social solutions, emphasizing the role of collective action, and the merits and demerits of small-scale, technically simple measures.SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science,2191-5547Agricultural economicsProject managementEnergy efficiencyEnvironmental managementSocial workAgricultural Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000Project Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515020Energy Efficiencyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Social Workhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X21000Environmental Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009Agricultural economics.Project management.Energy efficiency.Environmental management.Social work.Agricultural Economics.Project Management.Energy Efficiency.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Social Work.Environmental Management.333.913Sagebiel Julianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059904Kimmich Christianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMüller Malteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autHanisch Markusauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autGilani Vivekauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254137403321Enhancing Energy Efficiency in Irrigation2509420UNINA
