Although crop insurance was not designed to impact water resources, it may have unintended consequences for water use, because agriculture and water resources are tightly linked. In particular, crop production relies on water as an input, and irrigation for crop production is the largest user of...

Estimating sediment yield and streamflow, as well as identifying soil erosion processes, are necessary for properly designing superior management techniques, monitoring and evaluating various management scenarios, and prioritizing better conservation planning. Therefore, this study estimates...

Bangladesh, a small country with a large population, has achieved near self-sufficiency in food at a huge cost to groundwater resources. Indiscriminate installation of deep and shallow tubewells to lift groundwater for irrigated agriculture is posing a serious threat to this precious resource....
