Article
Over the past years, several concepts in water management have emerged and were further developed. They included approaches for saving water and improving water use efficiency and productivity, sustainable water management strategies, salinity c[...]
Article
The main goal in water efficiency in agriculture is to obtain more products with the same amount of water. In this respect, the use of irrigation performance indicators is important for increasing agricultural water efficiency. This study was co[...]
Article
Warming and drying trends in the Mediterranean Basin exacerbate regional water scarcity and threaten agricultural production, putting global food security at risk. This study aimed to review the most significant research on future water availabi[...]
Article
Water Conservation and Saving Technologies (WCSTs) can contribute to reduce the pressure on water resources from agricultural activities. A significant strand of literature on agricultural and innovation economics has explored the main drivers b[...]
Article
Dams play a vital role as a primary water supply for irrigation in Jordan, necessitating an assessment of their water quality. This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of irrigation water in a key number of Jordanian dams, namely Al Kafrain,[...]
Article
Water scarcity is a growing social, economic, and political issue, especially in Southern European countries that are becoming even more arid and where different crops can be cultivated only if irrigation is possible. In this context, strategies[...]

V. Erokhin ; K. Mouloudj ; A.C. Bouarar ; S. Mouloudj ; T. Gao |The scarcity of water resources, climate change, and water-wasting behavior have contributed to a worsening water crisis in many countries. This has raised concerns among farmers and increased pressure on governments. Digital technologies provid[...]
Article
The integration of remote sensing and socio-economic data is crucial for policy making in regions suffering from water scarcity and climate change. We present a framework that combines remotely sensed estimates of biomass and water use from FAO'[...]
Article
Climate change, characterized by rising temperatures and limited precipitation, has intensified the demand for irrigation water while simultaneously restricting its availability. This challenge poses significant risks to agricultural and food pr[...]
