But agricultural water has encountered problems of performance, profitability and sustainability. This resulted in a reduction in investments from governments and lending from development organizations like the World Bank up to early 2000s. A sourcebook on improving poverty reduction performance of agricultural water investments should be prepared to help task teams assess the poverty reduction role of agricultural water, to design and implement agricultural water operations maximizing poverty reduction impacts, and to measure results more effectively.CC BY 3.0 IGOADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORTAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL WATERAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGYCANAL IRRIGATIONCONFLICTCONSTRUCTIONCOST SHARINGCROP DIVERSIFICATIONDISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITSDOMESTIC WATERDOMESTIC WATER SUPPLYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTIONEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF WATERFARMERFARMING SYSTEMSFLOOD CONTROLFOOD OUTPUTGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER QUALITYINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION WATERLACK OF INCENTIVESLAND DISTRIBUTIONLAND TENUREMICRO-FINANCEPARTICIPATORY IRRIGATION MANAGEMENTPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR FARMERSPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOORER AREASPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELSPOVERTY LINKAGESPOVERTY REDUCINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION IMPACTPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERSPRODUCTION TECHNOLOGYPUMPSRURALRURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMIC GROWTHRURAL FINANCERURAL POVERTYSANITATIONSERVICE DELIVERYSMALL FARMSSOCIAL CAPITALTARGETINGTRANSACTION COSTSWAGE RATESWATER ALLOCATIONWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER DEVELOPMENTWATER INVESTMENTSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER PRICINGWATER PROJECTSWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER RIGHTSWATER SECTORWATER USERWorld Bank10.1596/11734
