Focal point
Location
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Establishing a Water Abstraction Scheme: Issues and Options
A workable water abstraction licensing scheme is one in which users are able to comply with its provisions and the water authority is able to administer and enforce it efficiently and effectively. Such a scheme aims to formalize users’ water rights in an environment where there are concerns about scarcity, pollution, or competing uses, or where other doubts have arisen because water abstraction is unregulated. In such a system, water can be allocated among diverse users and diverse water use sectors in accordance with the government’s priorities and plans.
