Can these benefits provide a new stream of revenue (public or private) to finance the costs of investing in and operating SWM for the management of flood and drought risks in the agriculture sector? What are the potential benefits of such extension for the broader community (e.g. when agriculture water can supply cities in cases of severe droughts, or agriculture land can provide a buffer to manage flood risks)? This may be appropriate in the Korean context, but may create difficulties in developing countries. The diffusion of SWM abroad should be combined with the construction, operation and maintenance of ICT facilities considering the unique economic and social situations of each country.
