Title: Cropping Plan for Water Resources Management
Abstract: In India, nearly 75% of utilizable water resources are used for irrigation. Due to intensive agriculture and changes in climatic patterns, water scarcities are becoming frequent for agriculture, industry, energy and households. Therefore, it is imperative to implement cropping patterns that can lead to reduced agricultural water demand, while preserving farmers’ economic returns. Looking into this scenario, the chapter determines economically feasible intercropping patterns for the Yamuna River basin.
