The Context Tool represents the analytical framework for understanding the potential contribution of the sustainable use of water resources for agricultural and energy production at country level.
A set of context dimensions, sub-dimensions and primary indicators have been selected in order to characterize the state of relevant economic, social, and environmental aspects, that guide the development of water resources for agriculture and energy production (see graph below). The dimensions include: (1) Agriculture, (2) Irrigation, (3) Food security, poverty and food self-sufficiency, (4) Water resources and hydropower and (5) Environment and Climate change.
From the list of indicators defined, a subset of key indicators is derived to help the identification of the need and potential to invest in water for agriculture and energy. These indicators are used to produce two indexes: the Investment Need Index (INI) and the Investment Potential Index (IPI) that are visually represented using radar graphs.
The INI illustrates the need to invest in water resources for increased food and energy production, while the IPI shows the potential of investing in those resources for the same purposes. The greater (lower) is the INI the higher (lower) is the need for investment in water for agriculture and electricity production; on the other hand, the greater (lower) is IPI the higher (lower) is the investment potential in irrigation and hydropower development. The indexes and radar graphs are also useful for synoptically comparing the performance of different countries on the key indicators.
