4. Water Saving Technologies: Myths and Realities Revealed in Pakistan's Rice-wheat Systems
2007 by Mobin-ud-Din Ahmad, Future Harvest (Program)
This research employs a combination of farmer surveys and quantitative measurements to assess the influence of Raised Crop Technologies (RCTs) on water utilization and conservation within Pakistan's Punjab province's irrigated Rice-Wheat Zone. The results demonstrate that while RCTs can yield water savings at the field level, these savings may not directly translate to broader-scale water conservation efforts and could potentially contribute to a heightened overall depletion of water resources.
