Water is recognised as one of the key limiting resources for the new millennium. Areas with once abundant water reserves are now forced to take a close look at rationing, while water-stressed areas are being forced to get by with less and less water. Diminishing supplies and increased demand mean that water use and re-use is a critical issue. It is now clearly imperative that water use be optimized. One form of optimisation is to integrate irrigation and aquaculture (IIA) and develop synergy from this marriage. Aquaculture, generally in the form of fishponds, can stock water for irrigating plant crops or can capture water leaving irrigation schemes. Ponds can also be built in adjacent waterlogged areas not suitable for other crops. By-products from the crops can be used as nutrient inputs for the fish; green manure for composting, spoiled produce and/or by-products such as bran or oil cake as supplemental feeds.
