Is supplementation justified to compensate pastoral calves for milk restriction? por Coppock, D. Layne, Sovani, S.

Water for irrigation or hydropower generation?: complex questions regarding water allocation in Tanzania por Kadigi, Reuben M.J., Mdoe, N.S.Y., Ashimogo, G.C., Morardet, Sylvie

“…We conclude that understanding the value of water in its alternative uses is key to fostering informed debate on water management and allocation, identifying the basis for making 'agreeable' trade-offs, the potential for improvement and creating linkages with water allocation options particularly in agricultural-based economies, where agriculture competes with other sectors and where water re-allocation decisions may involve large transfers of water from the sector generating the highest pro-poor returns (agriculture for this case) to the sectors generating the highest economic returns (hydropower generation and industrial uses).…”
