The food security for India's growing population is threatened by the decline in freshwater resources due to unsustainable consumption for irrigation. This issue is acute in parts of Punjab, India, where small landholders produce a major quantity of India's food. This state-wide coupled hydrologic, agricultural, and economic model of Punjab was built to assess and optimize crop choice scenarios based on farmer income, food production, and hydrologic system constraints.
