Abstract

Supplemental irrigation helps stabilize rainfed agriculture. For the greatest benefit, it must be part of an integrated package of farm cultural practices. Overexploitation of groundwater threatens the sustainability of groundwater-based supplemental irrigation in many areas. Supplemental irrigation that is optimized through on-farm water management policies and timely socioeconomic interventions is essential for the sustainable use of limited water resources.
