irrigation water amongst crops and inefficient use of the allocated water are major reasons behind this paradox. Water guzzler … irrigation water available in the country. Hence if sustainable agriculture water-use has to be ensured, economics (productivity … profitability can be achieved with lesser amounts of irrigation water. This is what is attempted in this paper. The study shows that …

the 1980s, all the six droughts faced by India were in El Niño years but not all El Niño years led to drought situations …

Crop farmers have few short-run options for reducing downside production risk from changes in drought frequency and … intensity due to ongoing climate change. However, one recently available option is drought-tolerant (DT) varieties. We determine … how recent drought exposure, drought risk, and other climatic features have influenced adoption of DT corn--a water …
