COMBINING CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION, THROUGH WATER, IS A WIN-WIN-WIN PROPOSAL
Water is the source of all life. No water; No life. Desertification affects all aspects of life and contributes to the deterioration global climate by disturbing the original water cycle and degrading performance of nature in absorbing carbon dioxide. As recognized by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Countries Experiencing Serious Drought and/or Desertification, Particularly in Africa (2007) , drought and desertification are global problems in that they affect all regions of the world. They are the most destructive force because of its damage to life and land.
Beside the particularly tragic consequences of experiencing serious drought and/or desertification in Africa, the adverse impacts of drought and/or desertification are also found in United States, South America, Mid East, Australia, and other large areas of planet Earth. Such as in South China, an area even usually with a high level of annual precipitation, droughts depleted the drinking water for over 26 million people there in the years from 2009 to 2011.
Significant accomplishments have been achieved by global entities that are mitigating the effects of drought and desertification, particularly emergency charitable organizations. However, over 783 million people are still lacking access to drinking water sources on the planet ( WHO/UNICEF, 2012 ). Commonly, traditional water pumping consumes electrical energy and may result or increase a tension of power supply during the dry season, as well as overload the poor inhabitants in many underdeveloped regions. In many arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, water development takes unsustainable measures and has led to rapid depletion of groundwater reserves. In some geological backgrounds, such as intensive karstification, the availability of water resources can be protean. Climate and the weather patterns increase the difficulty in providing sustainable solutions.
The difficulties in water development are beyond the matter of technology. Without recurring maintenance, most efforts of reforestation have been wasted away in many arid, semi-arid, and degraded lands. New trees may grow extremely slowly due to quick water-manure loss and die during severe drought. Quick spread of desertification is still threatening our sustainable living foundation of global dimension.
The crisis becomes more and more critical and uncertain as the global climate changes become more frequent. We must preempt water poverty and control desertification efficiently and quickly instead of providing one-time relief based on disaster zones. We must renovate our scientific thinking and strategies to improve the effectiveness of the combat against drought and desertification within the framework of sustainable development.
OUR SOLUTIONS>>
"Mindful that desertification and drought affect sustainable development through their interrelationships with important social problems such as poverty, poor health and nutrition, lack of food security, and those arising from migration, displacement of persons and demographic dynamics,
.....Emphasizing the special role of non-governmental organizations and other major groups in programmes to combat desertification and mitigate the effects of drought..."

Current focal efforts to stop drought focuses on a technical level of ponds, dams, and water wells. But these efforts cannot efficiently solve the impending water crisis. The increasingly threat of water poverty, the worsening desertification and the increasing global climate change , which become more and more critical and uncertain. It is essential to get to the bottom of the real-world problems and to find the solid solutions.
Strategies to reduce flood disaster risk, mitigate the effects of drought and to combat desertification will be effective if they are based on sound systematic and scientific theory. We start with a top to bottom systematic strategy which defines the focal points and apply human interference in dynamic situations of water resource and natural eco-environment to provide long lasting water development and eco-environment rehabilitation. This will ensure sustainable growth of our economy, society and ecology.
We renew the understanding and redefinite water resources, emphasize the systematic solutions of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
Our flood-Resource solutions help increase resilience to flood risks by featuring drainage systems that provide spaces to safely collect and store floodwater. and release rainwater as a resource.
Our solutions will be sustainable approaches with low-carbon, low-cost, quick returns and multi-benefits.
Climate change leads to more frequent and serious droughts, water shortages, floods, geological disasters and ecosystem degradation. Combining climate change adaptation and mitigation, through water, as a win-win-win proposal. Our Water-Argri-Eco solutions will help reduce the risks of drought, flood or mudslide risks, increase water resources, improve eco-environment and production conditions of agriculture and animal husbandry.
