The Impact of Agricultural Water Conservation Policy on Economic Growth
2012
Open Hydrology Journal
An agricultural water conservation policy prevalent worldwide encourages producers to improve on-farm irrigation efficiency. Contrary to intention, increasing empirical evidence reveals that this policy may set an 'irrigation efficiency trap' that worsens water crises by reducing water supplies and jeopardizing economic growth. We derive a pair of testable hydrologic-economic conditions required for the sustained existence of the trap. We do so by modeling an agroindustrial economy patterned
