Changing Seasonal Rainfall Distribution With Climate Directs Contrasting Impacts at Evapotranspiration and Water Yield in the Western Mediterranean Region

open access: yesEarth's Future, 2018
Over the past century, climate change has been reflected in altered precipitation regimes worldwide. Because evapotranspiration is sensitive to both water availability and atmospheric demand for water vapor, it is essential to assess the likely ...

Crop establishment, water management, and plant type characteristics : Moving toward more productive cultural practices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Water availability for agriculture is decreasing mainly due to increasing consumption from cities and industries. But a 1% increase in water productivity in agriculture will make available an extra 24 liters a day per person.

Effect of Deficit Irrigation on Yield and Water Use Efficiency of Maize at Selekleka District, Ethiopia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Irrigation water availability is diminishing in many areas of the Ethiopian regions, which require many irrigators to consider deficit-irrigation strategy. This study investigated the response of maize (Zea mays L.) to moisture deficit under conventional,

Water yield service influence by climate and land use change based on InVEST model in the monsoon hilly watershed in South China

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2022
Based on the data of meteorological, soil, and land use/land cover (LULC), the InVEST model was used to evaluate the water yield service in the middle and upper Ganjiang River region, which is an important ecological function area in the hilly region of ...

Identifying the Driving Impact Factors on Water Yield Service in Mountainous Areas of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region in China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Clarifying the interrelationship between climate and land use/land cover (LULC) changes on water yield in mountainous areas is very urgent due to the dramatic decrease in the water availability of mountainous areas.
