TRANSCRIPT
MASTERCLASS SERIES
Introduction to Monitoring Water Productivity
Topics include:
Using water productivity as an
indicator for agricultural output
and water use
Monitoring water productivity at
different spatial scales
Monitoring biopysical indicators
using WaPOR (including a case
study in Mozambique)
Monitoring socio-economic
indicators of water productivity
Water productivity as indicator of crop performance vis-
à-vis consumptive use has been around for several
decades. In recent years, the Netherlands has lead efforts
to institutionalise this indicator as a means to address
crop productivity and water utilization, i.e., what each
crop is doing with one cubic metre of water (kg/m3).
However, water productivity goes beyond biophysical
parameters of crop yield. It is also how much money is
earned per cubic metre and the amount of jobs and
livelihoods the crop production actually sustains. This
socio-economic water productivity can be measured by
the amount of dollars per cubic metre ($/m3) or the
amount of jobs per cubic metre (jobs/m3).

In this masterclass webinar from WaterPIP, we want to (re)introduce the concept of water productivity
as an indicator and explain the basic means to monitor water productivity. It will provide attendees
with a step-by-step approach on how to monitor water productivity, identify challenges, and generate
solutions for their own projects. Monitoring at different spatial scales will also be discussed (including
at crop level, by irrigation scheme, and in river basins) as well as considerations for both irrigated and
rainfed systems. The topics touched upon in this introdution webinar will be covered in greater detail
in the rest of the Masterclass series, and we encourage attendees to participate in all of the webinars.
This webinar series is supported by the Water Productivity Improvement in Practice (WaterPIP) project, which is supported by the Directorate-General for
International Cooperation (DGIS) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands under the DGIS UNESCO-IHE Programmatic Cooperation (DUPC).

MASTERCLASS SERIES
Monitoring Water Productivity using WaPOR
Part 1
Wednesday, June 10, 2020
What is WaPOR
Which indicators can be
derived using WaPOR data
Rapid assessment of
performance and water
productivity using WaPOR
Part 2

How to download data using
WaPOR
Detailed assessment of
performance and water
productivity using tools, such
as python
The FAO has developed a portal to monitor Water
Productivity through Open access of Remotely
sensed derived data (WaPOR). WaPOR offers a way
for the public to access reliable, continuous, and near
real–time spatial data on water and land use. These
data can be used to support agricultural water
managers, project leaders, and researchers in
conducting evidenced-based evaluations of the
performance of irrigation projects.
This masterclass webinar from WaterPIP is aimed at
introducing the WaPOR dataset and showcasing how
it can be used to measure water productivity and to
derive key service delivery performance indicators in
irrigation schemes. At the end of the two-part
webinar, you will be able to obtain, analyse, and
interpret WaPOR data for your own applications.

MASTERCLASS SERIES
Socioeconomic Water Productivity
Topics include:
Definitions of water
productivity
Social water productivity
(case study from Peru)
Policy assessment
framework
Water productivity can be defined in various ways: in
biophysical water productivity (yield per unit of water
consumed, kg/m3), economic water productivity
(financial returns per unit of water consumed, $/m3) and
social objectives (stability, equity, employment, food
security, etc.). Each definition reveals another piece of
the puzzle, but all of them are needed to provide a
complete view of water productivity.
This masterclass webinar from WaterPIP is aimed at
intoducing the different definitions of water productivity
and how each definition inform a complex debate. After
the completion of this webinar, you will aquire a holistic
understanding of the interconnections and trade-offs
between different types of water productivities. You will
also become familiar with a framework on how to assess
different policy strategies related to water productivity.

MASTERCLASS SERIES
Monitoring Water Productivity using AquaCrop
Topics include:
How AquaCrop works
What are the input
requirements
Which indicators can be
derived using AquaCrop
Showcasting five farm
cases from Kenya
The FAO has developed the water-driven simulation
model AquaCrop. AquaCrop provides a diagnostic
tool to assess water productivity at the farm-level and
provides insights regarding the possible causes of
decreased water productivity (i.e., differernt types of
stresses). This model can be used by agricultural water
managers, project leaders, and researchers with a
basic understanding of agronomical processes and
modeling experience.
This masterclass webinar from WaterPIP is aimed at
introducing the AquaCrop simulation model and
explaining the simple agronomic background on
which AquaCrop is based. After the completion of the
webinar, you will be able to run your own simulation
based on your own data and understand how you can
improve water productivity at the farm-level.
