    Shaanxi Province, located in the northwestern part ofChina, has experienced reduced rainfall in recent times,seriously affecting agricultural development. Against thisbackground, the current situation of arid farming in theprovince was one of unsustainable use of waterresources, inefficient on-farm water distribution schemesthat were unrelated to the different cropping systems,and insufficient investment in irrigation infrastructure,among other things. It was therefore crucial to upgradewater management technologies and croppingmanagement practices, in order to achieve higherefficiency of water use and improve agriculturalproductivity. The project aimed to reduce water losses inthe province, in particular in Jiangbian and Chunhuacounties, by promoting appropriate efficient on-farmwater harvesting and in-field water managementtechnologies, and improved soil fertility managementpractices.
