  Climate change and groundwater: India’s opportunities for mitigation and adaptation

  International Water Management Institute, 2009

  For millennia, India used surface storage and gravity flow to water crops. During the last 40 years, however, India has witnessed a decline in gravity-flow irrigation and the rise of a booming ‘water-scavenging’ irrigation economy through millions of small, private tubewells. For India, groundwater has become at once critical and threatened.
