This country profile describes the state of the water resources and water use, as well as the state of agricultural water management in Comoros.

Irrigation trends, existing policies and legislation to water use in agriculture, possible treaties and agreements between countries as well as prospects for water management in agriculture are presented, as described in literature.

The global agricultural sector today faces the double challenge of feeding a growing population while preserving the underlying natural resources of land, water and air.
