Conservation of blue/green water resources for intensification
Water scarcity is one of the major factor for low crop productivity in rainfed semi-arid tropics (SAT). Studies have indicated that one or two lifesaving irrigations can substantially enhance crop productivity. Enhancing ...
A Review of Continental-to-Global Sustainable Water Use Assessment
Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water use are some of the growing concerns in many parts of the world. Increasing water demand accompanied by increasing climate change leads to the unsustainable use of freshwater ...
Fostering institutions for water conservation and management in Andhra Pradesh, India
Progress Report. Rainfed agriculture is a predominant land use pattern in the semi-arid dryland regions which is particularly vulnerable to climatic and socio-economic stresses. As a result of these stresses, degradation ...
Adaptive Policy Responses to Climate Change Scenarios in the Musi Catchment, India
In India the stresses on water resource systems have increased, due in part to increased demand for scarce water supplies. Yet, what could be of greater concern is the potential long-run threats of climate change affecting ...
Water and labour saving technologies by micro-irrigation and machineries, selection of farmers and appraisal of potato cultivation in system
In a meeting with stakeholders at Maan Sagar, the project aims such as advantages of adopting potato cultivation in cropping system in rotation with cereal, use of micro-irrigation to save water, improved production ...
Performance assessment of CropSyst model for yield and nitrogen uptake and water use of crops in hot arid north western Rajasthan
The crop yield and water productivity is a complex indicator because it can be ascribed mainly to agro-techniques, plant factors, and environment. Appropriate crop management strategies to improve yield and water productivity ...
Water requirement and use by Jatropha curcas in a semi-arid tropical location
Increasing emphasis on biofuel to meet the growing energy demand while reducing
emissions of greenhouse gases, Jatropha curcas has attracted the attention of researchers,
policy makers and industries as a good candidate ...
Bio-energy, water-use efficiency and economics of maize-wheat-mungbean system under precision-conservation agriculture in semi-arid agro-ecosystem
The maize-wheat-mungbean (MWMb) cropping system is being advocated as an alternative to the traditional rice-based cropping systems of north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) to address the is- sues of energy and nutritional ...
Modelling Trends in Streamflow and Groundwater Storage in an Agricultural Basin: A Case Study of Himayat Sagar Catchment, India
The most visible signs of hydrologic change in a catchment can be observed from trends in streamflow and groundwater levels. Increasing irrigation and associated groundwater extraction, as well as interception of runoff ...
Effects of conservation agriculture on crop productivity and water-use efficiency under an irrigated pigeonpea – wheat cropping system in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains
In search of a suitable resource conservation technology under pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on crop productivity ...
