| Description: | Improved irrigation efficiency assumes an increase in the irrigation project efficiency and irrigation conveyance efficiency. |
| Reference: | Biemans et al., 2013 |
| Is implemented in: | Water |
| Associated theme items: | Irrigation (Water) |
Associated policy response component
Component: Land and biodiversity policies
Page: Land and biodiversity policies/Agricultural production system
Effects of this policy intervention on components
Component: Water
Effect : If irrigated area is not expanded, improving the irrigation efficiency on a large scale will decrease irrigation water withdrawals for irrigation. This means that water availability downstream will increase and water stress will get lower.
