Focusing on resource economics, the book explores the impact of externalities on irrigation returns in India, the world's largest groundwater user. It highlights how underestimating water costs causes farmers to overstate their profits. Given India's significant reliance on groundwater for irrigation and drinking, the analysis underscores the critical importance of accurate water cost assessments in sustainable agricultural practices and resource management.
