Article
This pioneering study employs the Water-Energy-Food-Environment Nexus (WEFEN) framework to evaluate the sustainability of various wheat irrigation systems—furrow (FI), sprinkler (SI), and drip irrigation (DI)—by integrating renewable energy (sol[...]
Article
Water scarcity is a critical challenge in arid and semi-arid regions, where agricultural water consumption accounts for a significant portion of freshwater use. Conventional agriculture (CA) methods with high reliance on chemical and mechanical [...]
Article
In the Middle Atlas region of Morocco, the expansion of irrigated agriculture has led to escalating pressure on groundwater resources, particularly in the Dayet Aoua watersheda zone experiencing both hydrological vulnerability and socio-economic[...]
Article
S. Mokhtari ; A.M. Benmehaia ; A. Nourani ; A. Hadjeb |Understanding water needs for durum wheat is essential for effective water management in highly sensitive Mediterranean zones, especially under climate change. This study investigates the implications of climate change on the water requirements [...]
Article
Rainfed agriculture, sustaining billions globally, faces escalating threats from climate change, yet the role of green water (soil moisture) in quantifying these risks remains critically understudied. We quantify green water scarcity (GWS)—insuf[...]
Article
This study investigates the impact of climate variability on wheat production in Algeria’s semi-arid interior plains from 2014 to 2024, aiming to curb the challenges of rainfed wheat cultivation, optimize irrigation, and improve water productivi[...]
Article
Unpredictable climate variations, including severe droughts and heat waves, pose significant challenges to agricultural water management and threaten the economic sustainability of farmers. This study examines the effects of different irrigation[...]
Article
Water scarcity, environmental factors, and climate change significantly impact agricultural productivity, making efficient irrigation strategies essential for sustainable crop production. The aim of this study is to determine how different soil [...]
