The various biophysical indicators proposed to assess surface and groundwater quantity and quality impacts of agricultural and NRM interventions are discussed with examples drawn from recent literature and case studies from watersheds in the semiarid tropics. Future research needs for developing more effective and measurable indicators of water quantity and quality for the purpose of monitoring the biophysical impacts of technological and resource management interventions are highlighted. date: 2005 date_type: published publisher: CAB International Publishing place_of_pub: Wallingford Oxfordshire, UK pagerange: 75-96 pages: 382 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-85199-828-3 book_title: Natural resource management in agriculture: methods for assessing economic and environmental impacts. official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1079/9780851998282.0075 related_url_url: http://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=allintitle%3A+%22+++++Measurable+biophysical+indicators+for+impact+assessment%3A+changes+in+water+availability+and+quality.%22&btnG=Search&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=&as_vis=0 related_url_type: author citation: Sahrawat, K L and Padmaja, K V and Pathak, P and Wani, S P (2005) Measurable biophysical indicators for impact assessment: changes in water availability and quality.
