- Title
- Description
- This report attempts to predict India's future water demands based on the assumption that the current trends in the country's land use, cropping and water use patterns continue while also assessing possible deviations from these trends. Its predictions include decreased demand for water for irrigation, small deficit of crop production, closure of many river basins and overexploited groundwater resources. This report was published by IWMI in 2007.
