land-water management practices and
utilization of water and land resources. They will
require large capital investments, and could be
complicated to implement (Birley, 1991). Close
collaborations between government depart-
ments and between the government and
communities are often hard to foster. On the
other hand, water management strategies of er
important gains such as higher agricultural
yields and increased land value. Interventions,
once implemented, run themselves and, unlike
residual spraying and larvicides, need minimal
staf input. Finally, water management strategies
will not only deal with disease, but also with
nuisance vectors, thereby often improving the
acceptability of the interventions.
