Verma, ShilpDurga, NehaShah, Tushaar[Solar irrigation pumps and India’s energy–irrigation nexus]Solar irrigation pumps and India’s energy–irrigation nexus

Estimating the potential land resources suitable for irrigation and evaluating the possible impact of climate change on land suitability is essential for planning a sustainable agricultural system. This study applied a GIS-based Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) technique to evaluate the suitabilit...


Worqlul, A.W.Dile, Y.T.Jeong, J.Adimassu, ZenebeLefore, NicoleGerik, T.Srinivasan, R.Clarke, N.[Effect of climate change on land suitability for surface irrigation and irrigation potential of the shallow groundwater in Ghana]Effect of climate change on land suitability for surface irrigation and irrigation potential of the shallow groundwater in Ghana

Two decisions taken by the Government of West Bengal, one, to facilitate easier extraction of groundwater, and the other, the application of a fixed connection fee for an electricity connection to farmers could well lead to a quantum leap in agricultural production.

Groundwater development across much of sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by a lack of knowledge on the suitability of aquifers for borehole construction. The main objective of this study was to map groundwater potential at the country-scale for Ghana to identify locations for developing new suppl...

Groundwater irrigation consumes considerable energy as well as water resources across the globe. Using a case study from Iran, this paper explores how enhanced farm water management can help in reducing groundwater exploitation and subsequently limiting energy consumption and the carbon footprint...


Karimi, P.Qureshi, Asad SarwarBahramloo, R.Molden, David J.[Reducing carbon emissions through improved irrigation and groundwater management: a case study from Iran.]Reducing carbon emissions through improved irrigation and groundwater management: a case study from Iran.

Thailand?s naturally high seasonal endowment of water resources brings with it the regularly experienced problems associated with floods during the wet season and droughts during the dry season. Downstream-focused engineering solutions that address flooding are vital, but do not necessarily captu...


Pavelic, PaulSrisuk, K.Saraphirom, P.Nadee, S.Pholkern, K.Chusanathas, S.Munyou, S.Tangsutthinon, T.Intarasut, T.Smakhtin, Vladimir U.[Balancing-out floods and droughts: opportunities to utilize floodwater harvesting and groundwater storage for agricultural developmentin Thailand.]Balancing-out floods and droughts: opportunities to utilize floodwater harvesting and groundwater storage for agricultural developmentin Thailand.

Strategies for increasing the development and use of groundwater for agriculture over much of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are urgently needed. Expansion of small-scale groundwater irrigation offers an attractive option to smallholder farmers to overcome unreliable wet-season rainfall and enhance dry...


Pavelic, PaulSmakhtin, Vladimir U.Favreau, G.Villholth, Karen G.[Water-balance approach for assessing potential for smallholder groundwater irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa.]Water-balance approach for assessing potential for smallholder groundwater irrigation in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The basaltic aquifers of the Upper Bhima River Basin in India are highly utilized for irrigation but the sustainability of groundwater withdrawals and the agricultural production systems they support is largely unknown. Here we used hydrogeological data, supported by secondary data, to assess the...

Mapani, B.Magole, L.Makurira, H.Mazvimavi, D.Meck, M.Mul, Marloes L.[Managing ground and surface water resources using innovative methods in rural and urban areas of Sub-Saharan Africa]Managing ground and surface water resources using innovative methods in rural and urban areas of Sub-Saharan Africa

Groundwater from the shallow aquifers of the Vientiane Plain, Laos is used for domestic needs including to some extent for drinking and for household gardening. The objective of this study is to assess the groundwater quality for drinking and irrigation activities and to determine the processes t...
