Abstract The Global South comprising economically disadvantaged regions of the world face
various challenges such as limited access to electricity, clean water, industrialization, and …

Irrigation access is deemed critical to sustainable agricultural growth, which underpins the
global food and livelihood security. Solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) have emerged as a …

South Asia's groundwater economy stands at the threshold of a revolution in adoption of
solar irrigation pumps (SIPs). This has potential to unlock the region's perverse energy …

Due to the continuous increase in the use of fossil fuel, India and the world are facing the

This paper seeks to identify the causal impact of solar water pumps on the consumption of
water, electricity and diesel as well as the gross cropped area under fruits and vegetables …

In vulnerable water basins, unregulated access to solar energy and groundwater can
threaten water security through increased abstractions. Public and development agencies …

India is on a path to reduce its carbon emission intensity with a major thrust on increasing
the grid-connected solar photovoltaic capacity. However, the carbon footprint in agriculture …

The runaway growth in states of subsidised solar pumps, which provide quality energy at
near-zero marginal cost, can pose a bigger threat of groundwater over-exploitation than free …

Understanding the key drivers behind intensive use of groundwater resources and
subsequent depletion in northern India is important for future food security of India. Although …

This systematic, evidence-based literature review examines the effectiveness of localised
solar-powered small-scale irrigation systems (PVPs) in poverty reduction, environmental …
