Water Economics Project. Co-Principle Investigator with Prof. Franklin Fisher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this is a joint project of Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Dutch, and Americans that has been facilitated by the government of the Netherlands since 1996. It has revolutionized the way one thinks about such conflicts and about optimal water management. WEP has shown that analyzing water values rather than water quantities transforms what appear to be zero-sum games into win-win situations in which cooperation benefits all parties. Gave a symposium on WEP in October 2007 to the Jordanian government, hosted by the Crown Prince and the Higher Council for Science and Technology, that concluded with a statement that Jordan will adopt this approach as one of their tools for their domestic and international water management and policy. A similar Symposium was held in December 2008 for the Palestinians in Ramallah, with commitment to use this approach among their tool set from the Palestinian Water Authority.

Green Water Credits. Co-Principle Investigator. Funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development. Program Manager. The objective of the grant is to reduce extreme poverty and hunger through means ensuring environmental sustainability. The specific objectives and immediate purpose of the 18 months proof-of-concept is to demonstrate the viability and feasibility of the offer-and-demand aspects of the GWC concept as a sustainable environmental service mechanism. This refers specifically to the dual character of GWC: (i) to improve local resilience to external shocks by asset building (green water, stable soils, reducing the hunger gap, diversified rural incomes); (ii) the delivery of blue water resources used downstream, protection of land and infrastructure from flood damage - as pertinent environmental criteria.

Integrating Water Supply Management And Ecological Flow Water Requirements. Funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency. CoPrinciple Investigator. This project addresses a question central to environmental sustainability – how to balance the use of water to meet both human and environmental needs. Across the country recent droughts have highlighted the limits of our ability to meet water supply needs in an environmentally sustainable manner. This project is developing a decision support system (DSS) that will integrate scientific models of ecological flow needs, water demand management and water supply planning into a decisionoriented optimization framework that promotes preventative approaches. The DSS will allow water resource managers to simultaneously maximize use of water storage capacity, strategically use drought management measures to optimize their effectiveness, and meet key ecological flow needs based on realtime environmental conditions. Planning and Evaluating Ensembles of Small Multi-purpose Reservoirs. Funded by the International Water Management Institute. Co-Principal Investigator. In collaboration with local and regional stakeholders, we will develop tools for small reservoir analysis and design, improve methods for institutional, financial, and economic analysis, and build confidence in a science based approach to planning reservoir systems. Building upon this foundation decision makers and the farming community can collaborate to ensure the long-term sustainability of local water supplies and adequate downstream flows. Well-sited, multi-purpose reservoirs making water available to smallholders are vital. With them smallholders can realize the ultimate goal of increasing the production of food, reducing poverty, and improving rural livelihoods.

ADAPT Water, Climate, Food and Environment under Climate Change. An Assessment of Global and Regional Impacts and the formulation of Adaptation Strategies for River Basins, Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Environmental Adaptations Manager. The main goal of the project is to assess impacts of climate change and climate variability on global food production & security, environment and livelihoods, link these impacts to similar effects on a basin level and finally develop and promote adaptation strategies for food and environment to alleviate the negative impacts, on a basin scale. Seven basins are selected such that they range from wet to dry and from poor to rich. The set of river basins function as reference for other non-studied basins. Results contribute to the knowledge bases of both the Dialogue on Water and Climate and the Dialogue on Water, Food and Environment. SEI water planning software, WEAP, is used in five of the seven basins to illustrate various adaptation strategies to climate change and variability.
