Irrigation accounts for 87 percent of water use and remains the most critical input for food security.Most of the opportunities to improve agriculture production in the country depend on improving the use and management of water infrastructure, advancing water use efficiency, and protecting crops and infrastructure from water-induced disasters such as floods, landslides, and land erosion."Irrigation infrastructure when combined with sound management system can double or triple crop yields, expand irrigated area, and dramatically enhance farmer incomes. So using this fund and preparing a number of projects for ready implementation with detailed design, procurement packaging, and empowerment of water user associations will greatly contribute to building Nepal's food security and climate resilience," said Kenichi Yokoyama, ADB country director for Nepal.
