Sustainable Management of Water Resources in Agriculture  

This report explores the economic, environmental and policy dimensions and linkages related to the management of water resources, floods and droughts in agriculture. While the linkages between agriculture and water quality are touched on they are the focus of another study to be completed in 2011.
The report was carried out under the auspices of the OECD Joint Working Party on Agriculture and the Environment of the Committee for Agriculture and the Environment Policy Committee. The material in the report also contributed to the 2007-08 OECD Horizontal Programme on Water, the results of which were presented in Managing Water for All: An OECD Perspective on Pricing and Financing at the World Water Forum in Istanbul in March 2009.
