The paper describes the impact of the changes in water duties on the agricultural production in the Girsal Minor Command Area. Results show that farmers have reacted to the new canal water environment in various ways: modifying their cropping pattern; applying larger quantities of water per unit area; and diminishing the use of the more expensive tubewell water. The paper suggests that if a better understanding of the relationship between water and agricultural production is to be obtained there is a need for further use of analysis techniques of farming systems in a more generalized and complete way.
