Economic Analysis of Conjunctive Use of Water: The Case of Mahi-Kadana Irrigation Project in Gujarat, India
Abstract
dc:descriptionCanal irrigation systems in India are typically operated so all water demands of farmers are not met. This has lead to private investments in groundwater. Since private well capacity often exceeds the water needs of farm-well owners a significant portion of the ground irrigation water is sold to neighboring farmers at prices much higher than the prices of canal water. Small farmers, who typically do not own wells, purchase well water to augment canal irrigation water.
