Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Research from South India suggests that climate change will affect ground water availability with serious and negative implications for agriculture. Any increase in temperature above a threshold of 34.3o C, in particular, will have a negative effect on farm incomes. This threshold level of temperature has already been breached some 60 times in the last forty odd years.
