Linkage between Water, Agriculture and Climate Change is well identified by scientists and academicians throughout the world. Water is always the epi-centre of adaption strategies for sustaining agricultural productivity in a changing climate. Climatic variables such as precipitation and temperature are always responsible for variation in agricultural production including aquaculture and fisheries. This change can be identified in the form of soil moisture depletion, wilting of leaves, effects on critical crop growth stages, maturity stages, breeding and distributional changes in fishes, incidences of aquatic invasions, fodder for cattle, crop water requirement, quantity and quality of water, evapotranspiration rates etc. Extreme rainfall events, both spatial and temporal, are responsible for long term losses and risks related to agriculture... Demand and supply of water for agriculture and fisheries depends upon many things, including water availability, quality, drought and floods,..
