Potentials of Water-saving Technologies in Rice Production : An Inventory and Synthesis of Options at the Farm Level (IRRI)

Placeholder for layout

The project aims to take stock of current, field- and farm-level water-saving technologies in rice production and to quantify their biophysical and socioeconomic potentials and farmer-adoptability.  This project will also produce a state of the art book incorporating biophysical and socioeconomic (adoption) synthesis of aerobic rice, alternate wetting-and-drying and raised beds, and exploration of up-scaling effects of adoption.

Collaborators: IRRI, IWMI, CSIRO, CIMMYT,  Wageningen University and Research Centre (WURC-Group Plant Production Systems, and Group Crop and Weed Ecology),  China Agricultural University, Beijing; Wuhan University of Hydraulic and Electric Engineering; Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan; PhilRice, Philippines; IARI-Water Technology Centre, Delhi, and the various partners of the Rice-Wheat Consortium in India.

Duration: 2002-2004
