Figure 16. Example of an output of a DST (from Dewandel, Gandolfi et al.,
2006). Predicted evolution of groundwater reserves for different agricultural policy
scenarios. Maheswaram southern India catchment. Upper graph: -5%, -10%, -
15%: 5, 10 and 15% reduction of groundwater withdrawal for irrigation; FAO:
increased withdrawal in order to meet the production objectives of FAO scenarios.
Lower graph: current water level in the aquifer (2002) and predictions for 2022
if increase in withdrawal for irrigation continues according to the current trend.
