Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amidst climate change and recurring droughts, increasing irrigation water amount and frequency alone is not a definitive solution to address water scarcity in agricultural crop production, particularly in soils with poor water retention capacity. This study evaluated the effects of two drought adaptation strategies (deficit irrigation and soil

Global irrigation water demand: Variability and uncertainties arising from agricultural and climate data sets [PDF]
, 2008 Agricultural water use accounts for around 70% of the total water that is withdrawn from surface water and groundwater. We use a new, gridded, global-scale water balance model to estimate interannual variability in global irrigation water demand arising ...
