"In the pursuit of information to support the policies and actions to alleviate hunger and poverty from a\r\nperspective of the role and impacts of irrigation and drainage, this paper attempts to provide correlation\r\nbetween water scarcity, community and poverty. Many reviews have found strong direct and indirect\r\nrelationships between irrigation and poverty. One of the main goals of the international community is to\r\neliminate hunger and poverty and in this perspective, through the Millennium Development Goals much\r\nprogress has been achieved and evidence obtained. Sustainable Development Goals and various\r\nUnited Nations and other initiatives, intend to move forward this agenda by making it a part of the broader\r\ndevelopment frameworks. In this paper, the important elements of the irrigation and drainage that affect\r\nthe alleviation of hunger and poverty have been discussed. These elements are grouped into\r\ngovernance, rights-based developments, water rights and pricing, management, efficiency\r\nimprovement, and role of technology. Both the potential and the need to make use of innovative\r\ntechnology and solutions in irrigation are underlined and these can be used to cater the challenges in\r\ndifferent sub-sectors. The main focus of these solutions are on maximizing productivity and efficiency,\r\nreducing water losses, achieving sustainable intensification and managing demands on water resources\r\nand the associated trade-offs."^^ .
