Moving Beyond ‘More Crop per Drop’ : Insights from Two Decades of Research on Agricultural Water Productivity

Concern over increasing water scarcity has led to the introduction of the concept of agricultural water productivity and an emphasis on interventions to achieve ‘more crop per drop’. Yet, a strong debate continues on how the concept is to be defined and used. Drawing largely from the irrigation lite...
