ABSTRACT Crop modelling is essential for agricultural water management but often relies on simplified water balance routines that limit representation of soil moisture dynamics. To address this limitation, we developed a coupled model that integrates the 1‐D Richards equation, solved using a finite difference method into the FAO AquaCrop.

ABSTRACT Soil salinization is a critical threat, impacting 20% of the world's irrigated lands and jeopardizing food security. In Ethiopia's Mirab Abaya district of the Gamo Zone, unsustainable irrigation methods exacerbate this issue. This paper examines local farmers' soil–water management systems and their awareness of salinization, aiming to educate

ABSTRACT Efficient water resource management is critical for sustainable agriculture, with evapotranspiration (ET) serving as a key parameter. Remote sensing (RS) techniques offer cost‐effective approaches for ET estimation and irrigation performance assessment in extensive agricultural systems.

ABSTRACT The water–energy–food (WEF) nexus approach highlights the interdependence of water, energy and food resources, all of which play central roles in agriculture, especially irrigation. A WEF nexus lens was applied to Mpumalanga's Crocodile River catchment, a vital irrigation area that significantly contributes to South Africa's staple food ...

ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...
