| description |
The key objective of this study is to
explore practical, politically feasible, scalable, and
sustainable approaches to address the challenge of adverse
water-energy-agriculture nexus in Rajasthan. Advancements in
solar and communication technologies have opened new
possibilities to take a fresh look at the nexus and realign
the incentives and interests of the farmers, power
utilities, the government, and other stakeholders to create
win-win opportunities. This study presents alternatives that
have the potential to achieve the trifecta of increased
irrigation energy efficiency, water conservation, and
doubling farmer income. The study is in five chapters.
Chapter one lays out the objectives of the study. Chapter
two presents the sectoral and nexus context and an approach
to review sectoral policies in a nexus framework. Chapter
three presents alternatives for addressing the challenges
posed by adverse nexus, and potential business models.
Chapter four examines the comparative advantages and
disadvantages of three institutional models for
implementation. Chapter five presents the study’s
conclusions and recommendations. |
