Crop Diversification and Its Efficiency …
181
Further study is required on the farmers’ consumption behavior to determine the
cropping pattern suitable for household welfare to secure basic foods. Also, further
study is required to clarify the water quantity available according to the type of well,
and the water requirement of each crop to reach the highest economic returns with
water rationalization.
