The paper generated under the Challenge Program for Water and Food (CPWF) project explores in some depth a totally different dynamic in the irrigation economy of the vast Indo-Gangetic basin (IGB), an important exception to the global characterization. The global debate on ‘‘water as an economic good’’ presumes that irrigation water supply is delivered, controlled, and priced by public institutions. In the developing world, the price of water is kept so low that water use cost leaves farmers no incentive to use it efficiently. Read More

This paper uses an integrated approach of Remote Sensing, Geophysics and GIS to evaluate groundwater potentiality of Ojhala subwatershed in Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Groundwater constitutes an important source of water for various purposes like domestic needs, supply for industries and for agriculture etc. The conventional approaches for groundwater investigation are ground based surveys and exploratory drilling which are time consuming and uneconomical. Keeping this in view, the present study attempts to demarcate groundwater potential zones in hard rock areas using an integrated approach of remote sensing, geophysics and GIS. Read More
