Farmer Survey data (anonymized) for the thesis "Planning sustainable and equitable agricultural water interventions: an agent based sociohydrology approach"

This data pertains to the farmer's survey in the Kamadhiya catchment in Gujarat India. In December 2021, 492 farmers distributed across 24 villages were interviewed in the Kamadhiya catchment. The study sample was selected through a multistage random sampling procedure. First, 24 villages from a total of 88 villages lying within the Kamadhiya catchment were selected using regularly distributed sampling. Thereafter, in each village, 20-22 farmers were selected for the survey using proportionate random sampling. The survey questionnaire consisted of two parts, 1) farmers' socio-economic characteristics and 2) farmers' perception of check dam impacts and sociopsychological questions regarding the maintenance of CDs; 3) farmers' cropping and irrigation practices and 4) farmers' perception and adoption of AWM practices (drip and borewell). For more description and information on the study area, please refer to the below publication:Alam, M.F., McClain, M.E., Sikka, A., Daniel, D., Pande, S., 2022.

本数据集源自印度古吉拉特邦卡马迪亚汇水区（Kamadhiya Catchment）的农户调查。2021年12月，研究团队对该汇水区内24个村落的492名农户开展了访谈调研。本次调研样本采用多阶段随机抽样流程选取：首先从卡马迪亚汇水区总计88个村落中，通过均匀分布抽样法抽选24个村落；随后在每个抽选村落内，采用按比例随机抽样法选取20至22名农户参与调研。本次调研问卷包含四大内容模块：1）农户社会经济特征；2）农户对拦水坝（Check Dam）的影响认知，以及关于拦水坝（CDs）运维的社会心理学相关问题；3）农户种植与灌溉作业模式；4）农户对农业水管理（Agricultural Water Management, AWM）措施（滴灌与管井）的认知与采纳情况。如需了解研究区域的更多细节与相关信息，请参阅以下文献：Alam, M.F.、McClain, M.E.、Sikka, A.、Daniel, D.、Pande, S., 2022. 社区集雨设施的效益、公平性与可持续性：基于农户尺度社会调查的评估. 《环境科学前沿》（Frontiers in Environmental Science）, 10卷. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2022.1043896
