dc.description.abstractThis paper examines the inequity in irrigation distribution in Indiausing a variant of Theil’s entropy measure for the period 1995–2010.The analysis reveals that the level of inequity in irrigation distribu-tion has increased over time. Inequity has declined in canal, tankand well-irrigated systems and increased in the tube well-irrigatedsystem. Decomposition analysis revealed that regional disparitieshave declined in all sources of irrigation except for tube wells. Therole of property rights to groundwater, groundwater markets,energy pricing policy and competitive deepening of wells in wor-sening the inequity in access to groundwater resources is alsodiscussed.
