Abstract: Sound development and management of freshwater resources can unlock potential to improve food security, nutrition, and health. Maximizing these benefits jointly, however, requires that water management be adapted to highly variable contexts, embedded in sound environmental policies, and cognizant of all economic costs and benefits.
