This policy brief argues that the Jaldhaka watershed agricultural production and development is not restricted by availability of water resources, but by land area per smallholder household and limited opportunity to intensify water use through access to appropriate irrigation.
A potential barrier of intensification may be the soil health and fertility depletion associated with continuous cropping in the Jaldhaka.
Further knowledge and efforts to ensure sustainability are needed to successfully realize the potential of adoption of AWM technologies.
