Express multiple production functions using 1 equation in GAMS

I have three production sectors, agriculture (AGR), industry (IND) and services (SRV) which use different inputs. Agriculture is a function of capital (K), labour (L) and water (W). // AGR = (K(AGR)**alpha(AGR)) *(L(AGR)**beta(AGR)) * (W(AGR)**gamma(AGR)) Industry is a function of capital (K) and labour (L). // IND= (K(IND)**alpha(IND)) *(L(IND)**beta(IND))) Services are a function of capital and labour (L). // SRV = (K(SRV)**alpha(SRV)) *(L(SRV)**beta(SRV)) )

Do I need an equation to express each sector's production on GAMS? This is easy when it's just 3 production sectors, but what if there is more sectors? say 9 or 10? It's going to take a lot of effort. I think there has to be a trick to use 1 equation in GAMS.

Can I express the production function in GAMS with 1 equation that includes water for agriculture and excludes the use of water for Industry (IND) and services (SRV)? Thank you. (I'm new to programming and GAMS)
