Deficit irrigation for reducing agricultural water use.

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2006
At present and more so in the future, irrigated agriculture will take place under water scarcity. Insufficient water supply for irrigation will be the norm rather than the exception, and irrigation management will shift from emphasizing production per ...

Is small scale irrigation an efficient propoor strategy in the upper Limpopo basin in Mozambique? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In Sub Sahara Africa, there is evidence that households with access to small scale irrigation are significantly less poor than households without access to irrigation. But private motopump tend to be unequally distributed.

Life Cycle Assessment of Magnesium‐Impregnated Biochar Production and its Application for Nutrient Removal and Soil Improvement in Rice Cultivation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the environmental trade‐offs of different rice husk management strategies using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. It compares biochar production for water treatment and soil improvement with direct incineration for energy generation.
