This paper tells the story of trade-off between hydropower and irrigation and its implications for groundwater use in Syrdarya basin in Central Asia. With the independence of the central Asian republics, this trade-off has become a transboundary issue. Efforts to coordinate bilateral action using...

This article provides an institutional analysis of the Mekong River Commission and brings to light the institutional dissonances between regional and national decision-making landscapes in the Lower Mekong Basin. The current scalar disconnect between regional and national decision-making processe...

Even though there has been increasing development of water management technologies over the years, the adoption rate by the farmers is comparatively small ranging from only 15-20%. Hence it is timely to look at the return to water management research investment to fine tune investment in future r...

In this Highlight, historical antecedents of energy-irrigation nexus in India are examined and it has been found that its genesis lies in policy decision taken over two decades ago to supply unmetered electricity to farmers. This has led to a number of problems, most important of which is lack of...

Groundwater is now a major source of agricultural water supply in many parts of the world. The value of groundwater as a new source of supply is well known. However, its additional buffering or stabilization value is less appreciated and even less analysed. Knowledge on groundwater?s stabilizatio...

Indian agriculture is trapped in a complex nexus of groundwater depletion and energy subsidies. This nexus is the product of past public policy choices that initially offered opportunities to India?s small-holder-based irrigation economy but has now generated in its wake myriad economic, social, ...

Climate change will affect water supplies in south Asia, where high-intensity floods and droughts are expected in the future. Increasing water storage is a key adaptation strategy, and the experience of irrigation tanks illustrates both the potential and challenges of this adaptation response. Al...
