Unraveling the phenomenon of supply‐demand feedback in agricultural water interventions by Alam, Faiz, McClain, M. E., Sikka, Alok, Sena, Dipaka, Pande, S.

“…Model results confirm the hypothesized feedback: increased water from CDs led to an 11.9% rise in cotton and 36.1% in wheat areas, boosting incomes and increasing adoption of drip and borewell irrigation, particularly near CDs. While drip irrigation systems improve water efficiency and post-monsoon groundwater levels, the saved water enables further wheat expansion—triggering a second supply demand feedback loop. …”
