  abstract = {{G}roundwater irrigation is essential to sustain food production, and aquifer depletion represents a major sustainability challenge for humanity. {T}here is a need for adequate modelling tools to assess the impacts of farming practices on groundwater resources with policy-makers and farmers in different contexts, especially in the case of smallholder farms in the tropics. {W}e introduce the {NIRAVARI} model, which was designed to represent the {I}ndian farming and water resource context. {NIRAVARI} is a parsimonious model integrating biophysical and decisional processes dealing with the farming system and the water table processes. {A} specific focus is given to how to irrigate with multiple water resources. {I}ts formalisms include equations from well-tested published models for soil moisture and plant water stress simulations. {T}he programming and graphic user interface is based on {E}xcel {VBA}. {W}e illustrate the ability of {NIRAVARI} to simulate a broad range of farmer adaptation strategies using four scenarios of cropping systems and water resources policies, and therefore, its interest for participatory scenario design and assessment with stakeholders.},
