Summary – The overall goal of the Global Water Security for Agriculture and Natural
Resource (GWSC) conference was to bring farmers, researchers, practitioners,
entrepreneurs, and policy makers together on a common platform to discuss current and
future water security challenges, share research, and discuss creative solutions that can be
applicable at various scales in different regions. This conference was jointly organized by
the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) and Indian
Society of Agricultural Engineers (ISAE). The conference focused on water security for
producing food, fiber, and energy crops as well as maintaining water quality and quantity
needed for ecosystem health and services.
The conference included 21 invited keynote speakers representing universities, Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Bank, International Commission on Irrigation
and Drainage (ICID), United States Department of Agriculture, industry, government
agencies, and various other national and international organizations. Presentations were
made by 245 speakers. A panel discussion included farmers from USA, India, and experts
from several countries to discuss challenges faced by farmers and innovative solutions to
address those challenges. In addition, a number of students, including 10 students funded
by the United State Department of Agriculture – National Institute of Food and Agriculture
(USDA-NIFA) actively participated and made presentations at the conference. The
conference was attended by more than 320 registered participants representing 19 different
countries.
A preconference symposium to discuss and share innovations in agricultural engineering
curricula was organized on October 3, 2018 and was attended by more than 50 academic
leaders from the USA and India. A number of potential collaborations among academic
institutions were also discussion at this symposium.
Below are preliminary recommendations various technical sessions
1. Strategies to address water security for agricultural production must consider regional
water availability, production of suitable agricultural crops given water availability,
climate change impacts, and expected increase in global food and nutrition demand
due to projected population increase.
2. Data collection should be coordinated among various agencies and GIS-driven data
and models should be made publicly available so that water availability problems can
be evaluated and new/improved models, methods, and decision support tools can be
developed for sustainable water management.
3. Develop methodologies for sustainable water conservation that address water stress,
efficiency and approaches for rainfall harvesting and supply-driven strategies with on-
site water management
4. Develop new and enhance existing regional plans to improve data collection and
research that will lead to optimal water application methods. Similarly, develop
programs to educate all stakeholders on current and future challenges and strategies for
efficient water conservation and utilization. The strategies should include behavioral,
production, policy, economic, and technological solutions. For example, providing free
electricity to irrigate agricultural fields is resulting in rapid depletion of groundwater
and poses serious threat to long-term viability of agricultural production.
5. Utilize emerging crop models to simulate and optimize efficient irrigation systems
considering deficit irrigation and termination periods and improve water use efficiency
for irrigation.

technical sessions
6. Assess trends in water use considering urban and irrigation needs and evolve methods
for diversification of water source utilization (e.g. use of blue, green, and gray water
for agricultural production) and adopt state-of-the-art conservation practices and water
pricing policies.
7. Develop simple yet practical decision support systems using Geo-spatial data to assess
health of riparian corridors with concepts that transferable to evaluation of water stress
and health of irrigated agricultural systems.
8. Adoption of enabling technologies such as GPS, GIS, DSS based precision irrigation,
and sustainable farming systems for increasing resource use efficiency and managing
water scarcity should be incentivized and encouraged.
9. Agricultural trade including the concept of virtual water trade can be an option for
management of water scarcity and thereby improving water productivity.
10. For developing sustainable pathways for water security, there is a need for investment
and innovation on information, infrastructure, and institutions.
11. Water and food security for the marginal farmers under changing climate is essential
for the eastern Gangetic plain. The transdisciplinary research approach has to be
adapted especially in India, Nepal and other neighboring countries.
12. There is a need of reviving the natural spring water resources and its proper utilization
in the Himalayan region for sustainable crop production. This can be done in
collaborative mode with different organization/institution viz., ICAR, DRDO, IIT,
SAU, GBPHIED and NGO’s.
13. Optimization and integration of techniques will be useful to develop suitable solutions
for global water security.
14. There are different entry points for improving water productivity at different scales –
field scale interventions are different from basin scale interventions. Scale specific
strategies to improve water management must be developed.
15. Crop diversification is a good climate-smart agriculture practice for improving
economic, physical as well as nutritional water productivity (such as introducing
pulses in cereal rotations)
16. Increasing agricultural productivity with less water is the major challenge in the dry
regions. Amongst the different strategies like increasing yield, managing demand or
pricing of water, increasing irrigation efficiency, the enhancing water productivity is
more relevant for dry regions. Supplemental irrigation, deficit irrigation and suitable
crop diversification are important best-bet practices for enhancing water productivity
and sustainable agricultural development of the dry regions.
17. Developing low cost farmer-friendly tools and techniques for measuring water flows,
monitoring soil moisture, irrigation scheduling suited to given hydro-climatic and
socioeconomic conditions are necessary for improving water productivity.
18. Government support for large-scale physical intervention, enabling policies along with
local people participation are pre-requisite for implementation of different
technologies developed for improving water productivity.
19. Due to the changes in the rainfall pattern the available water for crop production
activities has reduced extensively. Globally more than 70% of the available water is
used for agricultural activities. Harvesting of rainfall and storage strategies to meet
water demand during dry periods should be given a high priority. There is a need to
identify suitable locations for the water harvesting structures, installation and
maintenance of those structures, and develop decision support tools for efficient
utilization of harvested water for irrigation and other purposes.

20. With irrigated agriculture providing about 40% of the world’s food supply, global food
security depends on global water security. If food security is dependent upon global
water security, then global security itself is inexorably linked to global water and its
sustainable use. Scientific collaboration on agriculture and water is not only important
to both the U.S. and to India, but to the world. Efforts to brings together farmers,
researchers, educators, practitioners and internationally recognized experts to discuss
creative solutions and innovative approaches to provide water for agriculture and
natural resources must continue to find sustainable solutions.

Meeting of Retired Agricultural Engineers and Scientists

at Bhopal.
This group of retired agricultural engineers meets every quarter and discuss out reach
topics in agricultural engineers whould contribute. The meeting was held on
Oct.28th,2018 at Sri Garden Restaurant at 11:30 AM under the chairmanship of Dr. RP
kachru former ADG (PE). Dr PK Das informed that he has authored a book with Dr.
Nag titled Jute Card Design.(Theory & Principle). He has also compiled teaching
manuals for engineering students. Dr PK Srivastava informed that he is working for
managing and production planning of Ram Raj Agro Industries -a modern wheat mill in
Mandideep. He has already achieved a production capacity of about 60 tonnes during the
month of October. Dr NSL Srivastava suggested that the senior retired personnel may
contribute in policy matters and planning of institutions and government organizations
that may be feasible. Dr Nawab Ali and Dr RP Kachru also shared thoughts about how to
keep good health, mental peace and be happy as well as serve the society.
K.Y. Lo Medal for Prof. Digvir Jayas

Congratulations to Distinguished Professor Digvir Jayas for
being awarded the Engineering Institute of Canada’s (EIC’s)
K.Y. Lo Medal for signification engineering contributions at
the international level. Jayas, who is currently the vice-
president (research and international) at the U of M and interim
president of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada, held a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in
Stored-Grain Ecosystems from 2002 to 2009. He pioneered the
concept of drying grain by forcing air horizontally rather than
vertically to reduce energy costs during the drying process,
resulting in more uniformly dried grains. Such systems
conceptualized by Jayas are now sold worldwide. He has also
designed a “Grain-o-bot” to assist in the automation of grain
handling without cross-contamination of grains.
The K.Y. Lo Medal was established in 1997 to recognize and
encourage Canadian contributions to the field of engineering
on the world stage, and to honour K.Y. Lo, Professor Emeritus
of the University of Western Ontario.
