Putting the Conjunctive Water Management Paradigm into Practice

Techniques come under two main categories: those that have to play a role during area-wide water resources planning and those related to implement­ation at field level.

Techniques can be also classified according to their contribution to water resources management benefits (‘Resource augmentation,’ ‘Environmental control,’ etc.); but this classification is not rigorous, since certain activities may contribute to more than one of these imme­diate objectives.
