“…The SDAGE for the Upper Comoé was adopted by the Burkina Faso Government in July 2014. Following the French model (Nagaraj, ; Molle, ), the new governance structure consists of basin‐wide institutions: (a) semi‐autonomous Water Agencies ( Agences de l ’ Eau ) – mandated with providing managerial and technical support to IWRM reform; and (b) Basin Committees ( Comités de Bassin ), composed of public officials and other stakeholders, and charged with overall coordination. Local water committees ( Comités Locaux de l ’ Eau ), known by the French acronym ‘CLE’, were established as channels for local user and citizen participation.…”

“…The basis for water resources management in France is the Water Law of 1992. In relation to the agricultural water use, the Law specifies that the farmers should install water meters in order to measure the real water use and the water price is defined by the irrigation companies, who usually specify prices in order to recover the long-term incremental costs (Nagaraj 1999). Typically, the pricing scheme comprises two parts (Rieu 2005):…”

Current practices for the efficient use and management of water resources are based on the conjunctive application of water supply and demand measures. Even though options for the augmentation of water supply are widely analysed and assessed, water demand management remains an open field for study, as it is highly dependent on the socio-economic features of a region and has a sitespecific character. This paper summarizes the guiding principles of demand management and presents some successful application examples of demand management measures from regions that cover a wide range of socioeconomic and environmental conditions in an effort to identify the critical factors for the efficient planning and implementation of demand management plans.

“…Surface irrigation has been predominantly used for field crops in agriculture area in China, and other arid and semi-arid regions of world (Khan et al, 2014;Lecina et al, 2011;Li et al, 2020;Merchán et al, 2013;Nagaraj, 1999;Wu et al, 2016). According to the estimations, at least 300 million hectares are irrigated worldwide today, about more than five times in the early twentieth century (FAO, 2011).…”

Surface irrigation has been predominantly used for field crops in agriculture area to boost agricultural yields and outputs, however, this may also raise groundwater tables, salinize soils and reduce water quality due to poor irrigation management. Therefore, it is essential for requiring a better understanding of the hydrologic mechanisms related to soil water fluxes (e.g., evaporation, transpiration, infiltration, deep percolation and groundwater capillary rise) by surface irrigation. This study investigated the impact of surface irrigation on soil water movement and recharge to groundwater in the Yellow River irrigation area of Yinchuan Plain, China. Combining comprehensive filed observation and stable isotopic techniques, we described the soil water mechanism under two land covers (bare ground or maize) in 2019 and 2020. The soil depths affected by precipitation infiltration and evaporation were mainly 0-50 cm, while the soil influenced by irrigation was the entire profile in the mode of piston flow. According to soil water potential variation from 70 to 100 cm, we conclude that the maize root took up the soil water up to the depth of 100 cm during the tasseling period. The infiltration and capillary rise in 2020 were similar with those in 2019. However, the total deep percolation was 156.6 mm in 2020 which was smaller than that in 2019 because of the maize root water uptake. The leakage of ditch was the major recharge resource of groundwater for the fast water table rise. This study is critical for agricultural water management to improve irrigation efficiency and water use efficiency in arid regions.
