Water availability is a major agricultural concern in India, especially for cultivation of rice.
Since only 44 percent of the country's agricultural land is irrigated, millions of rice growers must rely on annual monsoons.
Over the past 30 years, though, India's farmers have faced challenges as extreme weather events during the monsoon season - including droughts - have become more frequent.
Water-use plans are one tool being used to help thirsty regions.
In 2009, the Indian government began a national watershed management program to promote more efficient water use through education and technical support.
Another innovation: Substantial progress has been made in developing hybrid rice varieties that grow faster while using less water.
A new drought-resistant basmati rice variety matures about 30 days earlier than previous crossbred varieties.
Farmers across India are already praising the high-yielding variety.
