Global Project
“Models for Implementing Multiple-Use Water Systems for Enhanced Land and Water Productivity, Rural Livelihoods and Gender Equity”
Or
“The Multiple Water Use Project”
Or
“The MUS Project”
Budget over four years: $ 2.45 million
$ 1.6 million
$ 0.15 million
$ 0.7 million Matching funds lead partners
Project Outputs
1. Global and national awareness of science-based and field-tested models, guidelines and tools for multiple-use schemes.
2. Enhanced capacity to implement and study those schemes and elicit their 100-fold upscaling within five years after the project.

Opportunities of m.u.s. approaches
1. Meeting broader water needs of women and men (health, freedom from drudgery, income from crops, livestock, fish, businesses)
Opportunities of m.u.s. approaches
1. Meeting broader water needs of women and men (health, freedom from drudgery, income from crops, livestock, fish, businesses)
2. Improving scheme sustainability by avoiding ‘illegal’ uses, damage, and deviation from planned allocations
Opportunities of m.u.s. approaches
1. Meeting broader water needs of women and men (health, freedom from drudgery, income from crops, livestock, fish, businesses)
2. Improving scheme sustainability by avoiding ‘illegal’ uses, damage, and deviation from planned allocations

5. Allowing for massive upscaling
Opportunities of m.u.s. approaches
In sum:
A m.u.s. approach is the most effective way to use water for poverty alleviation and gender equity in rural and peri-urban
areas
Generic Methodology
New partnerships: domestic and productive water sectors; researchers and implementers
Action Research – Learning by Doing
Through ‘Learning Alliances’ at local, intermediate, national and international level
Around a research framework of 12 principles for a m.u.s. approach
Strategy
Methodology• Action research to develop tools and
methodologies
• Using a principle-based approach
Scaling up• Learning about Multiple Use water Services
(MUS) through learning alliances
• Learning about learning alliances for scaling up MUS
Project framework
Focus at 3 levels:• National – an enabling framework of policy, legislation, and resource
allocation• Intermediate – coordination and long term support mechanisms• Local – implementation and management
Principles for implementation and scaling up at each levelPrinciples provide a checklist helping to identify questions to ask, and actions to take, in each phase of action researchLeading to action results, and learning about the process

Example
Principles: Enhancing the MUS approach at community level should be based on:
Assessment phase
Thorough understanding of poor people’s water-based livelihoods
Question: What are current water uses and water-based livelihoods, and which water needs for improved water-based livelihoods are still unmet?
Answer: Assessment of water use, needs, and water-based livelihoods
Tools: methodologies like SWELL -> research outcome
Product: base-line assessment of water-based livelihoods and unmet needs -> outcome for direct action
Example
Principles Reflection phase
Capacity to follow a learning approach to MUS among intermediate level organisations
Question: How have attitudes towards MUS changed among stakeholders, and why?
Answer: Joint reflection
Tools: Process documentation of the learning process and capacity – research outcome
Product: Impact assessment, lessons for improved design, implementation, and tools, and report – action outcome and research outcome
