%X Planners and irrigation experts in India now fed that increasing
agkdhual produdion either through arta &n w irrigation
development has reached a saturation point, and that the develop
meslt of dryland agriaht through appropriate technology, based
bdh on crop and on farmins systems, is the oniy alternative. Since a
majarity of farmers in dryland areas grow crops for consumption,
there is need to linlr both supply and demand for kse crops. Such
an approach would bclp in simulating impads of certain exogenous
chmgcs in rainfall distributioa, productivity growth amd dhcr behvioural
parameters. Thtsc impacts would have both allcmtivc and
dyMmic fttdbaccb through income, prices, etc
