Résumé | : | This paper reports the results from some experiments utilizing models of the irrigated agriculture of the Indus Basin of Pakistan. The models are unique in that they integrate agricultural production with a surface water distribution system and a groundwater aquifer system for a large river basin. Each of the models incorporates a special case of two-level hierarchical decision-making with the policy maker (the government) and policy receivers (farmers) in the analysis of agricultural production response. The models are mostly configured in a long run comparative statistical mode and include endogenous private investment in tubewells and tractors. These tools were designed for evaluation of investment projects and programs and assessment of irrigation system management, but have been adapted for other purposes as well. |
