In a retrospective of events in 2012, the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature blog looks at the frequent appearance of water-related issues throughout a year of droughts, floods and storms.

The article links to several case studies that highlight the dependency of agriculture on water, including one about work by the World Agroforestry Centre in the Sasuma Watershed in Kenya to introduce a water fund that would pay for activities to improve water quality and quantity.

Other stories highlighted include community management of water resources in the floodplains of Bangladesh and greater attention in the US to water issues following drought and predicted future water scarcity. There are also links to articles about World Water Day and World Oceans Day.
