Implication

Research examines irrigation water efficiency and productivity in Malwa's agricultural districts, suggesting policy changes for sustainability.

Key Points

  • The research aims to assess groundwater depletion and its effects on irrigation productivity and efficiency in the Malwa region of Punjab.
  • Used multi-stage random sampling to collect primary data from farmers.
  • Analyzed secondary data from official statistics.
  • Measured irrigation water productivity and efficiency for wheat and paddy crops using data envelopment analysis.
  • Found that higher gross returns correlate with lower irrigation efficiency.
  • Identified that small to semi-medium farms exhibit higher groundwater efficiency, particularly in wheat cultivation.
  • Noted a significant gap between groundwater efficiency and technological efficiency.
