Assessing Response of Water Footprint of Maize Production to Drought in China: Different Climate Scenarios and Irrigation Strategies

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on water resources and drought characteristics will significantly affect regional agricultural water security. To clarify the response mechanism of water consumption and drought, this study coupled meteorological data from CMIP6 under two shared socioeconomic pathways in China.

Probabilistic Agro‐Hydrology: A Stochastic Framework for Irrigation Risk Assessment and Water Management

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Irrigation plays a critical role in stabilizing agricultural productivity under increasing climatic variability. However, the intensification of droughts and extreme weather events is revealing the vulnerability of irrigation systems, particularly due to mismatches between peak water needs and natural water availability.

Management Strategies and Agricultural Calendars for Forage Production in Semi‐Arid Brazil Using AquaCrop

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 411-424, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...

Modeling Sugar Beet Responses to Irrigation with AquaCrop for Optimizing Water Allocation [PDF]

Water, 2019
Process-based crop models such as AquaCrop are useful for a variety of applications but must be accurately calibrated and validated. Sugar beet is an important crop that is grown in regions under water scarcity. The discrepancies and uncertainty in past published calibrations, together with important modifications in the program, deemed it necessary to
