Farmer‐Led Strategies for Water Conservation in the Urmia Lake Basin, Iran

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the urgent issues of water scarcity and limited farmer livelihoods in the Urmia Lake basin. To address these challenges, we apply the Governance, Autonomy, Integration, and Needs orientation (GAIN) methodology. Our participatory approach revealed that farmers prioritised actionable measures for water management, yield ...
