Research analysis on the effects of agricultural water and landholdings to rural livelihoods in Indo-Gangetic basin: with emphasis on BIHAR state [1]

This research analysis is focused on the identification of the agricultural water use and land scaling effects to rural livelihoods in Indo-Gangetic basin (IGB) with emphasis to Bihar state. In particular, water use and landholding factors are widely acknowledged as major determinants of agricultural development and hence rural wealth in IGB basin and Bihar. High attention is mainly given to irrigation policy while land is often apprehended through soil productivity aspects.
