Economic analysis of ground water exploitation and productivity of water Malaisamy A* Department of Agricultural Economics, Agricultural College and Research Institute (TNAU), Madurai-625104, Tamil Nadu, India *Email forcorrespondence: malaisamyecon@gmail.com
Online published on 6 December, 2021. Abstract The total demand for water in India is projected to be 886 billion cubic meter in 2030. The increase in demand will be higher for urban and industrial uses than for agriculture. A portion of the growing demand for water will be met though new investment in irrigation and water supply systems and some potential exists for expansion of non-traditional sources of water supply. However supply expansion will not be sufficient to meet the increasing demands. Battles are very high between different users of a single source of water such as for drinking water, irrigation and industrial use. Therefore the rapidly growing urban and industrial water demands will need to be met increasingly from water transfers out of irrigated agriculture. The effective management of this limited resource requires a nexus approach to governance which integrates the cause and the effect of water on the environment, society and the economy. With constraints to further supply-side augmentation because of over-abstraction and overuse of water in multiple geographies, demand-side management plays a crucial role in closing this gap. It is essential to manage their use efficiently and policymakers, researchers and farmers continually discuss how to formulate policies that will help. Hence it was one of the important objectives in this study. One hundred fifty samples were analyzed and assessed for the groundwater exploitation and agriculture in the lower Bhavani basin.
