- There is a need to emphasis more focus on the efficient and wise use of water for the crop production in the introduction.
- Water harvesting and its linkages crop production
- Trans boundary water issues and its nexus with livelihood, agriculture, crop production women role needs to be emphasized.
- I think there is a need to include latest food insecurity, water scarcity data in the introduction
- There is a need to analyze role on MNCs engaged in the water business like Nestle and its link with the water scarcity and water rights
- More emphasis required for the industrial waste, its linkages with water use for crop production especially vegetables(mainly women job)
- Water harvesting especially in the water scarcity regions.
- Need to include water insecure regions

- Promote/advocate livelihood diversification including staple food/crops
- Information need to be added on impact of climate change on the decreased yield and its nexus with food security
- Need to include role of agriculture/water research institutes
- Need to emphasize on promoting food crops instead of cash crops
- Propose budget allocation
