摘要

本研究调查了印度半干旱邦采用节水灌溉技术(特别是滴灌和喷灌)的情况。研究利用 probit 模型和来自印度人类发展调查-II 的数据,对 2891 个家庭进行了抽样调查,并开展了焦点小组讨论。研究结果强调了对技术采用产生重大影响的几个关键因素,包括教育、种姓、就业状况、家庭收入、果园所有权、土地保有量、灌溉来源、获得灌溉的途径、Kisan 信用卡计划以及电泵和柴油泵的使用情况。此外,研究还揭示了各州在水资源、作物模式和政府政策等因素驱动下的具体差异,这些差异最终影响了特定灌溉技术的采用情况。在安得拉邦开展的焦点小组讨论揭示了所面临的突出挑战,包括补贴有限、与采用相关的高成本以及特定作物的灌溉要求。鉴于这些发现,本研究强调有必要采取综合方法来实现节水和改善民生。这种方法主张综合采用联合耕作法、分水法、包括补贴和可获得信贷在内的支持性财政政策,以及实施可持续的政府社会计划。这种综合努力被认为是在不断变化的农业和环境景观中培育具有复原力的社会所必需的。

Assessing determinants, challenges and perceptions to adopting water-saving technologies among agricultural households in semi-arid states of India

This study investigates the adoption of water-saving irrigation technologies, specifically drip and sprinklers, within India's semi-arid states. Utilizing a probit model and data sourced from the India Human Development Survey-II, the research scrutinizes a sample size of 2891 households while engaging in focus group discussions. The findings highlight several key factors significantly impacting technology adoption, including education, caste, employment status, household income, orchard ownership, landholding size, irrigation source, access to irrigation, the Kisan Credit Card scheme, and utilization of electric and diesel pumps. Moreover, the study uncovers state-specific variations driven by factors such as water resources, crop patterns, and government policies, ultimately shaping the adoption landscape of specific irrigation technologies. Focus group discussions conducted in Andhra Pradesh reveal prominent challenges faced, including limited subsidies, high costs associated with adoption, and crop-specific irrigation requirements. In light of these findings, the study emphasizes the necessity for a comprehensive approach to achieve water conservation and enhance livelihoods. This approach advocates for the integration of joint farming practices, water-sharing methods, supportive financial policies encompassing subsidies and accessible credit facilities, and the implementation of sustainable government social schemes. Such integrated efforts are deemed imperative for fostering resilient societies amidst evolving agricultural and environmental landscapes.
