This Note concludes that to optimize conjunctive use of water, the best way forward is to concentrate on capacity building of irrigation system managers to improve system management and reshape hydraulic infrastructure of large and small-surface systems. To sustain groundwater use in tube well-irrigated areas, enhancing recharge from precipitation and surface water imports is necessary. None of these improvements can be made without the proper institutional and organizational development, including investment in the capacities of local governments to lead on participatory groundwater management and integrated water resources management.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL WATERAQUIFERAQUIFERSBASINSCANAL IRRIGATIONCANALSCAPACITY BUILDINGCATCHMENTCHANNELSCONJUNCTIVE USECONJUNCTIVE USE OF GROUNDWATERDISCHARGEDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDIVERSIONDRAINAGEDROUGHTEVAPORATIONEVAPORATION LOSSESEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONFARMERSFARMINGFLOODSFLOW MEASUREMENTFOOD SECURITYGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER IRRIGATIONGROUNDWATER MANAGEMENTGROUNDWATER PUMPINGGROUNDWATER RECHARGEGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER STORAGEGROUNDWATER USEHYDRAULIC INFRASTRUCTUREIMPORTSINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATERINTENSIVE GROUNDWATER USEINTERNATIONAL WATERIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION MANAGEMENTIRRIGATION SYSTEMSIRRIGATION WATERLOCAL COMMUNITIESMINE WATERNATURAL RESOURCESPERCOLATIONPUMPINGQUALITY WATERRAINFALLREGIONAL WATER RESOURCESREMOTE SENSINGRESERVOIRSRIVER BASINRIVERSRUNOFFSALINE WATERSALINITYSALINIZATION DUESEEPAGESOILSSOUTH ASIANSURFACE DRAINAGESURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER IRRIGATIONUSE OF WATERWASTEWATERWASTEWATER DISPOSALWASTEWATER USEWATER AVAILABILITYWATER CONSERVATIONWATER DELIVERIESWATER DELIVERYWATER HARVESTINGWATER LEVELWATER LEVELSWATER MANAGEMENTWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESWATER NEEDSWATER POLICYWATER QUALITYWATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENTWATER STORAGEWATER USEWELLSConjunctive Use of Groundwater and Surface WaterWorld Bank10.1596/9641
