Turning Water to Wine: An Analysis of Texas Wine Industry Water Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Texas wine industry is expanding in scale and reputation during a period when sustainability concerns are increasingly visible and valuable to grape growers and wine producers in Texas. Most vineyard hectarage in Texas is in the High Plains and Hill Country American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which rely on regional aquifers for water. With

Smart Sensor‐Integrated Lysimeter System for Affordable on‐Farm Crop Water Monitoring and Irrigation Management

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate monitoring of crop water use is critical for precision irrigation, yet conventional lysimeter systems remain too costly and complex for widespread adoption. This study presents the development and field validation of a low‐cost, information and communication technology (ICT)‐enabled weighing lysimeter system that integrates load cells,

Drivers and Challenges of Micro‐Irrigation Adoption and Intensity in India: A Study of Four States

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT India's food security relies substantially on groundwater, but inefficient irrigation is seriously depleting this resource. Micro‐irrigation (MI) improves irrigation application efficiency and productivity, yet adoption remains low. This study examines MI adoption across four major Indian states—Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and ...

Inline Oxygenation in Drip‐Irrigated Citrus: How Much Agrochemical Reduction Is Needed to Achieve Net Environmental Benefits?

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agronomic benefits of oxygen‐enriched irrigation, such as improved root development, enhanced nutrient uptake, and reduced fertiliser and pesticide requirements, are well documented. However, incorporating oxygenation devices into fertigation systems increases energy demand and material use, thereby incurring additional environmental ...

A Holistic Assessment of Water Footprint and Irrigation Performance Indicators With Respect to Agricultural Water Productivity

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified prolonged droughts in many regions, including Türkiye, resulting in growing pressure on already limited water resources. Agriculture, as the largest water‐consuming sector, faces critical challenges in sustaining productivity under increasing water scarcity. In this context, assessing water use efficiency through
