Growing more rice with less water:Increasing water productivity in rice-based cropping systems
Objective
Ultimate goal to promote water management techniques in rice-based irrigation systems that sustain the environment and allow crop production to be maintained or increased in the face of growing demands for competing uses of water. Focus on assessing the water-saving potential of alternative management practices at farm, irrigation system, and sub-basin levels.
