Economic effects of water use and landholding scale to farming in South Asia: evidences from Indo-Gangetic basin
Agricultural water use in agrarian economies is often state subsidized for the enhancement of agricultural productivity while poverty alleviation is also targeted. The Indian agricultural dependent states offer representative examples of undervalued irrigation services mainly sourced by canal net...
