Description: This project investigates whether one-time subsidies for irrigation technologies in Punjab can effectively promote adoption, improve verification, and reduce water use. It contrasts these “second-best” incentives with volumetric pricing, aiming to generate new evidence on their real-world performance in addressing groundwater depletion and climate resilience in Indian agriculture.
