In this paper we consider a two periods model of cropping using irrigation. The farmer takes two kind of decisions, one … related to the level of investment in irrigation capacity and the other one to the irrigation level in each period. In the … period. Assuming a CARA utility function, we show that taxing the investment may entail an increase in preventive irrigation …

There is a dearth of information on the extent of irrigation development in the country. As a result, there has been a … great deal of confusion over the statistics on the state of irrigation development. The NIA defines an irrigation service … area as an area with irrigation facilities. In reality, the actual area served is much less than the service area. The …

This study is to assess the irrigation service areas of AMRIS and PDRIS benchmarked against design area water … availability, land use (including flood vulnerability), and status of irrigation facilities, using resource assessment and … watershed and irrigation modeling. Highlight of the findings are: irrigation area of NIA-AMRIS fell below design area due to …
