A Comparative Study of Modern Irrigation Water Systems and Rural Poverty in the Limarí Basin, Chile and the Tunuyán Basin, Argentina: Institutional and Socio-Economic Aspects

Placeholder for layout

The project aims at assessing the relative strength/weakness in poverty reduction of modern irrigation water systems publicly funded in their origin and the subsidy system in two selected water basins in Chile and Argentina, by establishing a set of metrics and identifying relevant institutional and socio-economic aspects. The timeframe covers 1980-2000.
