International Workshop on 'Water Security and Groundwater Management for Agriculture in the Age of Climate Change'

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is organizing an International Workshop on 'Water Security and Groundwater Management for Agriculture in the Age of Climate Change' on February 3-4, 2015, at Silver Oak, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi. The event will be organized preceding the Annual Delhi Sustainable Development Summit (DSDS) 2015.

The overarching aim of the workshop is to engage researchers, policy makers and other stakeholders to identify options and strategies to cope with climate change and pressures on surface and ground water resources while improving water and food security in India. The findings from the following two ACIAR funded projects (along with other relevant projects from India) will provide context for this workshop: Impacts of Climate Change and Watershed Development on Wholeof-Basin Agricultural Water Security in the Krishna and Murray-Darling Basins, and Project on Improved Village Scale Groundwater Recharge and Management for Agriculture and Livelihood Development in India.
