- Title
- Description
- This study uses farmer-survey data, remote sensing and hydrological modelling of the prevalent cropping systems to investigate the importance and role of poplar trees in agriculture in northern India and to estimate their water use to determine whether water use is increased when trees are planted. This study was published by IWMI in 2007.
