Water and soil conservation measures  are frequently documented as adaptation responses to reduce water-related climate impacts . This measure features in all continents' top four adaptation responses except Australasia . Especially for rain-fed farming, which currently is the norm in most of Africa, large parts of Central and South America and Europe, water and soil conservation measures and various components of conservation agriculture are some of the most frequently used adaptation responses . This measure is deemed to have economic benefits and benefits for vulnerable communities who adopt this measure  and benefits in terms of water saving and positive ecological and sociocultural benefits . However, this measure can be sometimes maladaptive  and can have mitigation co-benefits  . Furthermore, water- and soil management-related measures show high potential efficacy in reducing impacts in a 1.5°C world, with declining effectiveness at higher levels of warming
