For millennia, India used surface storage and gravity flow to water crops. During the last 40 years, however, has witnessed a decline in gravity-flow irrigation rise of booming 'water-scavenging' economy through millions small, private tubewells. India, groundwater become at once critical threatened. Climate change will act as force multiplier; it enhance groundwater's criticality for drought-proofing agriculture simultaneously multiply threat resource. Groundwater pumping with electricity...
AbstractIntegrated water resources management provides a set of ideas to help us manage more holistically. However, these have been formalized over time in what has now become, capitals, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), with specific prescriptive principles whose implementation is often supported by donor funding and international advocacy. IWRM become an end itself, some cases undermining functioning systems, others setting back needed reform agendas, yet becoming tool mask...
This volume presents the lessons learned from a wide range of groundwater and irrigation projects throughout country India. It offers information on their development, projected scope, ultimate impact agricultural productivity economic activity. valuable resource will be read with interest by all professionals involved setting or implementing water policy goals assessing likely projects.
This article suggests that Asia’s groundwater socio‐ecology is at an impasse. Rapid growth in irrigation South Asia and the North China plains during period 1970–95 has been main driver of agrarian boom these regions. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh account for bulk world’s use agriculture. On plus side, development provided sustenance to economies millions rural livelihoods. downside, it created chronic problems resource depletion quality deterioration. While depletion, pollution deterioration...
At less than 1000 km3/year, the world's annual use of groundwater is 1.5% renewable water resource but contributes a lion's share water-induced human welfare. Global however has increased manifold in past 50 years; and race never had to manage on such large scale. Sustaining massive welfare gains development created without ruining key challenge facing world today. In exploring this challenge, we have focused good deal conditions occurrence so use. I offer typology five demand systems as...
Rapid expansion of groundwater irrigation has transformed the rural economy in regions around world, leading to significant increases agricultural productivity and rising incomes. Farmer investment wells pumps driven this on demand side; however, supply cheap energy—usually electrical power—is a critical though often overlooked driver boom. One serious outcome numerous world been overdraft; where pumping exceeds aquifer recharge, water tables have declined quality deteriorated. India Mexico...
This report reviews several decades of global experience in transferring management government-run irrigation systems to farmer associations or other nongovernmental agencies an attempt apply the lessons success African smallholder context.
Abstract The basins of the Indus and Ganges rivers cover 2.20 million km2 are inhabited by more than a billion people. region is under extreme pressures population poverty, unregulated utilization resources low levels productivity. needs are: (1) development policies that regionally differentiated to ensure resource sustainability high productivity; (2) immediate implementation for sound groundwater management energy use; (3) improvement fragile food security broaden its base; (4) policy...
Sustainable use of groundwater is becoming critical in India and requires effective participation from local communities along with technical, social, economic, policy political inputs. Access to for farming also an emotional complex issue as their livelihood survival depends on it. In this article, we report transdisciplinary approaches understanding the issues, challenges options improving sustainability States Gujarat Rajasthan, India. project, called Managed Aquifer Recharge through...
South Asia's groundwater economy stands at the threshold of a revolution in adoption Solar Irrigation Pumps (SIP). This has potential to unlock region's perverse energy-groundwater nexus. In much Asia, price energy used irrigation, only surrogate for water price, fails signal abundance or scarcity groundwater, resulting myriad distortions. We analyse these eight distinct interaction settings (EGIS). then explore SIP promotion policies ease pressure on scarce 'groundwater depletion zone...
Abstract Using water-energy-food-environment (WEFE) nexus as the prism, this review explores evolution of groundwater governance in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, China, Bangladesh and India – which together account for two-thirds global groundwater-irrigated area. Global discourse has blamed widespread water scarcity squarely on supply-side policymaking advocated a broader template instruments. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) presented just such with pricing, participation, rights...
