ICID News Update for November 2013

1. INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE
Managing Water for Sustainable Agriculture
From Secretary General's Desk...
Dear Friends,
The science has once
again emphasized
that the realities
of climate change
are there to stay.
The Working Group
I “ T h e P hy s i c a l
Science Basis” in its
contribution to the
Fifth Assessment Report accepted by
the IPCC on 27 September 2013, has
reiterated its earlier findings that the
climate change is equivo-cal, but with
more certainty. Globally, it is likely that
the area encompassed by monsoon
systems will increase over the 21st
century. The variability is likely to
get further accentuated with higher
frequency of climate extremes. These
extremes present distinct challenges
to global food security. A brief glimpse
at the findings of Summary for Policy
Makers of AR5 is reported in this issue.

concluded on 3rd October 2013 in
Mardin, Turkey last month ad-dressed
IPCC Fifth Assessment Report
(AR5): A Glimpse
According to the IPCC Fifth Assessment
Report (AR5), warming of the climate
system continues as many of the
observations since 1950s unequivocally
present. The atmosphere and oceans have
warmed, the amounts of snow and ice
have diminished and sea level has risen.
Each of the last three decades has been
successively warmer at the Earth’s surface
than any preceding decades since 1850.
Ocean warming dominates the increase
in energy stored in the climate system,
accounting for more than 90% of the energy
accumulated between 1971 and 2010.
Over the last two decades, the Greenland
and Antarctic ice sheets have been losing
mass, glaciers have continued to shrink
almost worldwide, and Arctic sea ice and
Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover
have continued to decrease in extent.
The climate models have improved since the last
AR4 brought out in 2007. Observational and
model studies of temperature change, climate
feedbacks and changes in the Earth’s energy

‘Irrigation and drainage in a changing
world: Challenges and opportunities
for global food security'. One of the
challenges addressed was climate
change. In order to look at various issues
that agriculture water management
under changing climate is likely to face,
22nd ICID Congress, scheduled from
14-20 September 2014 in Gwangju,
South Korea will address
‘Securing
Water for Food and Rural Community
under Climate Change’ by posing and
answering questions 58 and 59, details
of which are provided inside.
It is increasingly being realized that
irrigation provides resilience and
serves as one of the best tools against
impending more severe and longer intraseasonal and inter-annual droughts.
Sahelian region in Africa at its recently
concluded High Level Forum supported
by World Bank has recognized this fact
and has decided to double the irrigated
area in the region by 2020. No doubt
the countries in the region (three of
them being ICID members) would need
international organizations to cooperate
and support them in their endeavor.
ICID will be most willing to join these
efforts through its members.
budget together provide greater confidence in
the magnitude of global warming in response to
past and future forcing. Human influence has
been detected in warming of the atmosphere
and the ocean and the evidence has grown
since AR4. Continued emissions of greenhouse
gases will cause further warming and changes in
all components of the climate system that will
continue beyond 2100 under all development
pathways scenarios except one.
Changes in the global water cycle in response
to the warming over the 21st century, however,
will not be uniform. The contrast in precipitation
between wet and dry regions and between
wet and dry seasons will increase, although
there may be regional exceptions. The high
latitudes and the equatorial Pacific Ocean are
likely to experience an increase in annual mean
precipitation by the end of this century under
various Representative Concentration Pathways
(RCP) scenarios. The RPC concept replaces
AR4 (SRES emission) scenarios represented
through A1B, B1, A2 etc.
In many mid-latitude and subtropical dry
regions, mean precipitation will likely decrease,
while in many mid-latitude wet regions, mean

In the last issue of News UPDATE we
had provided you the brief outcomes of
the 64th IEC meeting. While the minutes
of IEC and its pre-council meetings are
in their final stage and would reach
you by 25th we UPDATE you on the
activities of the various Working Groups.
Some of the WGs which have completed
their tenure and need to re-organize
their activities, along with some new
WGs will be chalking out their future
plan of action.
I once again seek the indulgence of
our experts participating in the WGs,
including the observers, to make use
of the Web-conferencing services that
will be facilitated by Central Office. More
details on how to use the services are
presented inside.
As always, I seek your feedback.

Secretary General
precipitation will likely increase by the end
of this century under various RCP scenarios.
Extreme precipitation events over most of the
mid-latitude land masses and over wet tropical
regions will very likely become more intense
and more frequent by the end of this century.
The global ocean will continue to warm during
the 21st century. Heat will penetrate from the
surface to the deep ocean and affect ocean
circulation. It is very likely that the Arctic sea
ice cover will continue to shrink and thin and
that Northern Hemisphere spring snow cover
will decrease during the 21st century as global
mean surface temperature rises. Global glacier
volume will further decrease. Global mean
sea level will continue to rise during the 21st
century. Under all RCP scenarios, the rate of sea
level rise will very likely exceed that observed
during 1971 to 2010 due to increased ocean
warming and increased loss of mass from
glaciers and ice sheets.
Globally, it is likely that the area encompassed
by monsoon systems will increase over the
21st century. While monsoon winds are likely
to weaken, monsoon precipitation is likely to
intensify due to the increase in atmospheric

2. moisture. Monsoon onset dates are likely to
become earlier or not to change much. Monsoon
retreat dates will likely be delayed, resulting in
lengthening of the monsoon season in many
regions. There is high confidence that the El
Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) will remain
the dominant mode of inter-annual variability
in the tropical Pacific, with global effects in the
21st century. Due to the increase in moisture
availability, ENSO-related precipitation
variability on regional scales will likely intensify.
Background
the relevance of current issues of irrigation
and drainage limiting food production visà-vis food security. Climate change is an
added limitation on the increasingly complex
International Commission on Irrigation
and Drainage (ICID) has been organizing
its flagship triennial event International
Congress on Irrigation and Drainage
since 1951. The ICID triennial Congresses
focus on the upcoming issues that need
to be addressed in irrigation, drainage
and flood management. The Congresses
also provide a platform for reviewing a
number of contentious issues concerning
the future of irrigation water vis-à-vis
increased demands for competitive uses
of water. Apart from the focus on research
and recent developments, expectations
stemming out of these to contribute to the
growing demand of food and fibre for an
ever increasing population are highlighted.
So far, ICID has organized 21 International
Congresses on Irrigation and Drainage in
venues spread across all continents addressing
selected Main Themes, Congress Questions,
Special Sessions and Symposia/Seminars of
global interest under which the researchers,
academicians, professionals across the water
sector presented their research experience and
knowledge in the form of technical papers and
poster presentations.
ICID’s next mega event, after successful
1st World Irrigation Forum (WIF), is 22nd
International Congress on Irrigation and
Drainage (22nd ICID Congress) and 65th
International Executive Council (IEC) meetings
which will be organized by host Korean National
Committee on Irrigation and Drainage (KCID)
in cooperation with International Commission
on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) during 1420 September 2014 at Kimdaejung Convention
Centre in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Republic
of Korea.
Congress Theme
The main theme of the Congress is ‘Securing
Water for Food and Rural Community under
Climate Change’. ICID Congresses concentrate
on themes of global interest keeping in view
