Low and uncertain crop yields and concentrated poverty in the vast rainfed regions, diminishing returns from the public irrigation systems, climate change induced chaotic fluctuations in the hydrologic regimes and a large demand-supply gap in non-cereal food items are all compelling reasons for t...

The topography of the Ganges basin is highly variable, with the steep mountainous region of the Himalaya upstream and the large fertile plains in eastern India and Bangladesh downstream. The contribution from the glaciers to streamflows is supposed to be significant but there is uncertainty surro...


Sharma, Bharat R.Condappa, D. de[Opportunities for harnessing the increased contribution of glacier and snowmelt flows in the Ganges basin]Opportunities for harnessing the increased contribution of glacier and snowmelt flows in the Ganges basin

Climate change is one of the drivers of change in the Ganges River Basin, together with population growth, economic development and water management practices. These changing circumstances have a significant impact on key social and economic sectors of the basin, largely through changes in water ...

Groundwater irrigation over the past few decades has improved stability in cropping but resulted in aquifer depletion in semi-arid regions of India. To minimize decline of groundwater levels, Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) interventions are widely adopted, supported by local communities, state an...

Improvements in water productivity (WP) are often suggested as one of the alternative strategies for overcoming growing water scarcity in India. This paper explores the potential improvements in WP of food grains at district level, which currently varies between 0.11 and 1.01 kilogram per cubic m...

In Pakistan, on-demand availability of groundwater has transformed the concept of low and uncertain crop yields into more assured crop production. Increased crop yields has resulted in food security and improved rural livelihoods. However, this growth has also led to problems of overdraft, fallin...

Crop consumptive water use and productivity are key elements to understand basin watermanagement performance. This article presents a simplified approach tomap rice (Oryza sativa L.) water consumption, yield, and water productivity (WP) in the Indo-Gangetic Basin (IGB) by combining remotely sense...

Understanding of crop water productivity (WP) over large scale, e.g., river basin, has significant impli-cations for sustainable basin development planning. This paper presents a simplified approach to combine remote sensing, census and weather data to analyze basin rice and wheat WP in In-do-Gan...
