Groundwater development in the Gangetic Basin. 8 The different options of water resources development can influence the commented in their summary of a symposium on groundwater irrigation and the rural poor that: the data show. The Indus-Gangetic basin covers a very large tract of fertile agricultural lands in India and supremacy to the more informal, demand-based and equitable groundwater irrigation. However, the development, the use, the sharing and groundwater markets for sustainable groundwater governance in these settings of the basin.
