WCA infoNET - A Knowledge and Information Dissemination System on Water Conservation and Use in Agriculture

The WCA infoNET information system is an Internet-based integrated information platform which merges high quality information resources and expertise allowing direct access to publications, documents, data, computer programs and discussion groups which provide a knowledge base, support and the necessary global platform for decisions on water conservation and use in agriculture.

 
 
WCA infoNET is governed by an international task force comprising leading R&D institutions ensuring the technical reliability of the information included. The task force members at present are: Cemagref, HR Wallingford, ILRI, IWMI, USBR, AGLW / FAO and ICID.
 
 
WCA infoNET is managed by IPTRID which is an internationally-funded programme aimed at promoting technology and research in irrigation and drainage in and by developing countries. The Programme is hosted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy.
