TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the wetland wealth of India in terms of their geographic distribution and extent, ecosystem benefits they provide, and the various stresses they are exposed to, and discussed the efforts at management of these fragile ecosystems, identifies the institutional vacuum and suggests priority area where immediate attention is required in order to formulate better conservation strategies for these productive systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed country level data on renewable freshwater availability and net virtual water trade of 146 nations across the world and found that virtual water often flows out of water-poor, land rich countries to land-poor water-rich countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theoretical model to analyze farmers' response to changes in power tariff and water allocation regimes vis a vis energy and groundwater use, and validate the model by analyzing water productivity in groundwater irrigation under different electricity pricing structures and water allocations regimes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the critical issues in rainwater harvesting efforts in water-scarce regions of India and identify a trade-off between maximizing hydrological benefits and improving cost effectiveness.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that run-off harvesting does not offer any potential for groundwater recharge or improving water supplies at the basin scale, and that in closed basins, intensive water harvesting would lead to negative welfare outcomes due to high negative externalities at higher degrees of basin development.
