  abstract = {{F}armers' production decisions and agricultural practices directly and indirectly influence the quantity and quality of natural resources, some being depleted common resources such as groundwater. {R}epresenting farming systems while accounting for their flexibility is needed to evaluate targeted, regional water management policies. {F}armers' decisions regarding investing in irrigation and adopting cropping systems are inherently dynamic and must adapt to changes in climate and agronomic, economic and social, and institutional, conditions. {T}o represent this diversity, we developed a typology of {I}ndian farmers from a survey of 684 farms in {B}erambadi, an agricultural watershed in southern {I}ndia (state of {K}arnataka). {T}he survey provided information on farm structure, the cropping system and farm practices, water management for irrigation, and economic performances of the farm. {D}escriptive statistics and multivariate analysis ({M}ultiple {C}orrespondence {A}nalysis and {A}gglomerative {H}ierarchical {C}lustering) were used to analyze relationships between observed factors and establish the farm typology. {W}e identified three main types of farms: (1) large diversified and productivist farms; (2) small and marginal rainfed farms, and (3) small irrigated marketing farms. {T}his typology represents the heterogeneity of farms in the {B}erambadi watershed.},
