Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Water Saving and Yield Enhancing Micro Irrigation Technologies in India: Theory and Practice -- Chapter 3. Current State of Drip Adoption for Irrigation of crops in Maharashtra -- Chapter 4. Micro-Irrigation in Karnataka: Potential and Constraints for Adoption -- Chapter 5. State of Development and adoption of Micro Irrigation Systems in Gujarat -- Chapter 6. ‘Wet’ Water Saving and Social Benefits from Micro Irrigation: A Study from IGNP Command Area in Rajasthan -- Chapter 7. Social Benefit Cost Analysis of Drip Irrigation -- Chapter 8. Determinants of Adopting and Accessing Benefits of Environmentally Feasible Technologies: A study of Micro Irrigation Systems in North Gujarat, Western India -- Chapter 9. Economic and Social Feasibility of Solar Powered Pumpsets in India -- Chapter 10. Conclusions and Areas for Future Research.

This book takes stock of micro irrigation systems (MIS), the technological intervention in India’s agricultural and water management sectors, over the past couple of decades. Based on empirical research from the major agriculturally dynamic states, viz., Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the book provides a nuanced understanding and objective assessment of the implementation and adoption of MIS across these states. It addresses several of the questions related to adoption and impacts of MIS in India. On the adoption side, the key question that the book addresses is which segment of the farming community adopts MIS across states? The impacts analysed include those on physical, agronomic and economic aspects. At the macro level, the question being asked is about the future potential of MIS in terms of saving water from agriculture and making more water available for environment. The book also addresses the question of the positive/negative externalities and real social benefits and costs from the use of MIS, a major justification for heavy capital subsidies for its purchase by farmers. It also brings out certain critical concerns pertaining to MIS adoption, which need to be addressed through more empirical research based on longitudinal panel/ cross sectional data. The book would be of great use to researchers (agricultural water management, irrigation economics), students of water resource engineering, irrigation engineering and water resources management, as well as to policy makers and agricultural water management experts – national and international.
