Farming Under Drought: An Analysis of the Factors Influencing Farmers’ Multiple Adoption of Water Conservation Practices to Mitigate Farm-Level Water Scarcity

Abstract This paper investigates the factors that drive farmers’ simultaneous adoption of six water conservation practices (WCPs) and intensity their adoption. We estimate these WCPs with a multivariate probit model, for adoption, an ordered model is estimated. Our results show gender, age, education, farm size (among other factors) influence probability extent WCPs. Furthermore, combinations like drip and/or sprinkler irrigations cover cropping, intercropping others) are complements, suggesting bundling
