Fielding Floods for Flourishing Farms: A Framework for Assessing the Reuse of Small Flood Reservoirs as Irrigation Reservoirs

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Due to the increased intensity and frequency of droughts under a warming world, agricultural irrigation demand (AID) is likely to increase in many regions of the world—not just in semi‐arid and arid regions, but also in temperate regions. Small reservoirs have often been touted as a decentralized solution to increase water supply resilience ...

Calibration and evaluation of the FAO AquaCrop model for canola (Brassica napus) under full and deficit irrigation in a semi-arid region

Applied Water Science
Field experiments were conducted in the cropping years 2012 and 2013 with four irrigation treatments, I 1, I 2, I 3, and I 4, respectively, corresponding to full irrigation, 20, 35, and 50% less than the crop water requirement in a semi-arid region of ...

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.

Calibration and validation of the AquaCrop model for simulating cotton growth under a semi-arid climate in Uzbekistan

Agricultural Water Management
Cotton is a crucial fiber crop, but its conventional production methods are heavily water intensive. In regions where water availability already limits cotton yields, there is a growing need to explore alternative field management practices that ...

Simulating Barley Yield under Different Irrigation Levels by using AquaCrop Model [PDF]

علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2018
As the population grows and people's living standards rise, the global demand for freshwater is constantly increasing. Agriculture is not only the largest consumer of water in the world, but also one of the cheapest and least efficient consumers with the

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 ...

Evaluation of CERES‐Maize Model for Predicting Yield, Evapotranspiration, Water Productivity and Drought Stress Indices Under Center Pivot, Subsurface Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems With Different Irrigation Levels Simultaneously

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 1, Page 372-389, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The effects of different irrigation methods (center pivot [CPI], subsurface drip [SDI] and furrow irrigation [FI]) and levels (full irrigation treatment [FIT], 80% FIT, 60% FIT and rainfed) on yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), ET‐water productivity (WPET) and drought stress index for leaf expansion (SIE) and photosynthesis (SIP) of maize ...

Future Impact of Climate Change on Durum Wheat Growth and Productivity in Northern Tunisia

Agronomy
This study evaluates the projected impact of climate change on wheat production in Northwest Tunisia, specifically at Medjez El Beb (36.67 m, 9.74°) and Slougia (36.66 m, 9.6°), for the period 2041–2070. Using the CNRM-CM5.1 and GFDL-ESM2M climate models
