The main purpose of the study was to determine the impact of ponds on the adoption of water-saving irrigation (WSI) practices. We hypothesized that access to ponds would increase the likelihood of practicing alternate wetting and drying (AWD). While it seems reasonable that the ability to access...

Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) has been attracting increasing interest, because it seems to reach several useful objectives: using less water to achieve the same result; thus increasing water productivity and profitability. It is the most widely adopted water-saving irrigation practice in...
