Greater use of groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa is a pre-requisite for improved human welfare, and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. However, the costs associated with groundwater development are poorly defined. Also, at the macro-scale, little attention is given to indicators whi...

Economic assessment of water storage for adaptation to climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. [Abstract only].
The Indo-Gangetic Basin encompasses most of the fertile landholdings in South Asia. However, low agricultural productivity is observed in the four riparian countries - India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh - by nailing down rural welfare. Accusations are directed at the inability of water supply ...

Assessing institutional and environmental parameters of agricultural water use in South Asia: evidences from the Indo-Gangetic Basin
The environmental services related with agricultural water are increasingly acknowledged as a critical factor for farming development in South Asia. However, little attention is given to the demand side linked with the preservation of these services. To this aim, we conduct a stated preference ap...

Environmental services and agricultural water in South Asia: evidence from Indo-Gangetic Basin
Water use and landholding factors are widely acknowledged as major determinants of agricultural development in agrarian regions of the Indo-Gangetic basin (IGB). High attention is mainly given to irrigation policy while land is often apprehended through soil productivity aspects. However, the nex...

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...

Valuating agricultural water use and ecological services in agrarian economies: evidences from eastern India
Greater use of groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa is a pre-requisite for improved human welfare; however, the costs associated with groundwater development are prohibitively high and poorly defined. This study identifies and disaggregates the costs of groundwater development in 11 Sub-Saharan Afri...

Assessing and forecasting groundwater development costs in Sub-Saharan Africa
By mitigating the vagaries of climate variability, agricultural water storage is widely anticipated to make a key contribution to climate change adaptation in Africa. However, if the planning of water storage is not improved, it is likely that many investments will fail to fully deliver intended ...
