This paper deals with the benefits of irrigation water pricing in general. Moreover it is intended to analyse the scope of surface water irrigation, especially tank water irrigation in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, by fixing an appropriate price which will help conservation as well as optimum use of the scarce resource. The differences in water rates in different states are also dealt with.Keywords

This study is primarily aimed at reviewing the impacts of climate change on Indian agricultural sustainability and poverty where poverty and agriculture are both salient, and that climate change is likely to reduce agricultural yields significantly, and that this damage could be severe unless adaptation to higher temperatures is rapid and complete. The study also summarizes the existing literature on the causes and characteristics of expected climate changes in India over the coming years, especially in the agricultural sector, and discusses the ways in which these changes might affect the lives of the poor. The study also throws light on the nexus between agricultural productivity and poverty eradication.Keywords
