Effective communication is an important aspect of FAO’s work on sustainable land and water management. It takes many forms, including technical publications for land and water management professionals; briefs and concept notes for policy-makers; and educational materials – such as brochures, posters, videos, animations and infographics – for the wider public and schoolchildren. In all its forms, FAO’s communication products on sustainable land and water management are functional, visually appealing and appropriate for their audiences.

On this webpage you will find a comprehensive database of all FAO publications on sustainable land and water management. It includes our extensive Technical Series of Irrigation and Drainage Papers, conceptual essays in the Land and Water 

Discussion Papers, and much more. Our online library, which dates to the 1960s, is continually expanding. 

On this webpage you will also find videos and animations on various aspects of sustainable land and water management, some produced for events such as World Water Day and the International Year of Soils.
