Study on Irrigation Water Management Economically

Abstract

The post-World War II era saw a significant increase in irrigation activities that contributed greatly to the massive growth in agricultural production that enables humanity to feed its multiplying population. However, a distinction must be made between the overall positive contribution of irrigation and water to agricultural productivity and economic well-being, and a great deal of misallocation and mismanagement of the resources that accompanied the expansion of irrigation. In many cases, water resources were too much; there was excess spending on capital; And significant costs in terms of loss of ecosystems, extinction of fish species, and pollution of water sources. This research provides an economic perspective on the contribution of irrigation and water resources to past agricultural development and future water resource management. Water use efficiency is affected by decisions taken at many levels. In this research, we first analyze the shortcomings that can occur at different levels of water management. We start with a discussion of the use of irrigation water by the individual, and then we turn to the importance of regional water management. Then we discuss the importance of dynamic considerations about the future and the role of interregional management. Together, these departments provide an economic framework for designing water institutions and policies to improve the allocation of water resources and prevent some of the current deficiencies in water resource systems. The second part of the research provides an overview of the benefits and costs that have been achieved through agricultural water and irrigation projects in developing countries. There is a dearth of posterior integrated evaluations of these projects, so we grouped the parts together, gathering data with conceptual arguments.
