Lowering risk for rice farmers to raise the water table in India

This webinar presents the findings of research by the CGIAR Initiative on NEXUS Gains on farmers’ water application and water productivity under both direct-seeded rice and puddled transplanted rice across four districts in Haryana, India, as well as a case study on the co-benefits of crop diversification in the region. The results show how water savings can be achieved and can contribute to groundwater rejuvenation.
