Climatic Change and Groundwater: India’s opportunities for mitigation and adaptation.
International Water Management Institute, 2009For millennia, India has been using surface storages and gravity flow to irrigate its 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 tube wells. For India, groundwater has become at once critical and threatened.Documentcoping study on natural resources and climate change in Southeast Asia with a focus on agriculture. Final report.
