有必要评估气候变化对农业的潜在影响，以便规划适当的适应措施。农民已经在一定程度上适应这些变化。本文介绍了尼泊尔因德拉瓦蒂盆地雨养和农民管理的灌溉农业的案例研究。它描述了农民对气候变化的看法、对历史可用水量的分析以及对未来温度和降水的预测。根据从农民收集的主要信息和对气候数据的深入分析，确定了农民已经使用的适应策略，并推荐了新的适应策略。
There is a need to assess the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture in order to plan appropriate adaptation measures. Farmers are already adapting to these changes to a certain degree. This article presents a case study of rainfed and farmer-managed irrigated agriculture in the Indrawati Basin, Nepal. It describes farmers' perceptions of climate change, an analysis of historical water availability, and future projections of temperature and precipitation. Adaptation strategies already being used by farmers are identified and new ones are recommended based on primary information collected from farmers and an in-depth analysis of the climate data.
