Groundwater extraction through subsidized solar power has flared up a number of issues in water resource planning in water deficient regions. Previous studies and research suggests ‘buy back solutions’ to check indiscriminate exploitation of ground water reserves; however, the present study is an attempt to put forward a theoretical incentive framework analysing the condition in Rajasthan state to justify why farmers would not opt to sell excess electricity generated to the grid rather choose to sell solar irrigation. The study validates the inappropriateness of simple buy back solution to check excessive groundwater extraction and concludes that one-way approach in policy implementation regarding groundwater extraction can be a misnomer and region-specific policies should be adopted looking to the water deficiency or abundance in the region.

缺水地区太阳能灌溉政策的实施视角：以印度拉贾斯坦邦为例

通过补贴太阳能提取地下水已经在缺水地区的水资源规划中引发了许多问题。以前的研究和研究建议“回购解决方案”来检查地下水储备的不分青红皂白的开采；然而，本研究试图提出一个理论激励框架，分析拉贾斯坦邦的状况，以证明为什么农民不会选择将多余的电力出售给电网，而是选择出售太阳能灌溉。该研究验证了简单的回购解决方案在检查地下水过度开采方面的不适当性，并得出结论认为，在实施有关地下水开采的政策时采用单向方法可能是用词不当，应针对该地区的缺水或缺水情况采取针对具体地区的政策.
