Agricultural production is the main consumer of water. Future population growth, income growth, and dietary shifts are expected to increase demand for water. The paper presents a brief review of the water footprint of crop production and the sus[...]Article
J. Rocha ; C. Carvalho-Santos ; P. Diogo ; P. Beça ; J.J. Keizer ; J.P. Nunes |Future climate for the Mediterranean climatic region is expected to bring an increase in temperatures, decrease in the precipitation quantity and shifts in the seasonal precipitation pattern. Although the impacts of climate change on water resou[...]Article
L. Parra ; L. Parra ; M. Botella-Campos ; H. Puerto ; B. Roig-Merino ; J. Lloret |Improving water efficiency in farming systems is one of the major challenges of these decades. Water scarcity due to climate change, together with the increasing demand of food, is leading experts from around the world find appropriate indicator[...]Article
Regulating water use in agriculture in water stressed basins is a challenging task. Recent scholarship emphasises the need to combine strong State oversight for achieving the collective extraction caps with considerable leeway to users to alloca[...]Article
Good management of water resources requires a good allocation of their availability, especially in public irrigated schemes in Tunisia. This paper contributes to a better reallocation of available water resources at the farm and regional levels.[...]Article
This work attempts to understand and analyze the concept of virtual water, a newly introduced device used by developed countries to better refine the evolution of the water situation subject to these inter-country water transfers. However, the t[...]Article
Desalination for sustaining agricultural production is conceived as an alternative water source in some Mediterranean countries faced with climatological and hydrological constraints. Although high costs are often cited as limiting factors, how [...]Bulletin : Revue
Courrier international, h.s. Septembre-Octobre 2020 - Septembre-Octobre 2020 - Atlas de l'eau
A. Aubron, dir. | 2020A Courrier international, lidée de cet atlas de leau nous trottait dans la tête depuis plusieurs années : le sujet est omniprésent dans nos pages comme sur notre site et dans nos précédents atlas. Leau, voie navigable ; laccès à leau,[...]Article
Sustainable food systems are high on the political and research agendas. One of the three pillars of sustainability is environmental sustainability. We argue that, when defining related policies, such as policies under the European Green Deal, b[...]Article

Palau-Salvador |This work focuses on the situation of the technological transition to new technologies in drip irrigation in the Valencian Community (Spain). The study covers the last decade with data from interviews to managers of Irrigation Communities in 201[...]Article
Y. Chanyour ; K. Obda ; O. El Achari |Le bassin versant de loued Daoura est situé dans un contexte climatique aride et présaharien. La quantité de leau disponible est faible et variable dans lespace et dans le temps. En plus de la rareté de leau et de son inégale répartition, du[...]Article
G. Nikolaou ; D. Neocleous ; A. Christou ; E. Kitta ; N. Katsoulas |The sustainability of irrigated agriculture is threatening due to adverse climate change, given future projections that every one in four people on Earth might be suffering from extreme water scarcity by the year 2025. Pressurized irrigation sys[...]Article

In many countries, containment measures prescribed by national governments restricted the movements of entire communities, with t[...]Article
Irrigation water accounting (IWA) plays a key role in irrigation management in arid or semi-arid environments. Currently, water managers perform IWA through indirect or direct measurements such as statistical methods or flow meters. However, the[...]Article
Irrigated agriculture is essential to satisfying the globally increasing demand for food and bio-based products. Yet, in water scarce regions, water-use for irrigation aggravates the competition for the use of water for other purposes, such as e[...]Article
Water pricing policy for irrigated agriculture is considered as a key issue in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) implementation. The main obstacle is that a large part of the water used in agriculture is unmetered. The objective of this study [...]Article
Climate variability in agriculture and crop water requirement: spatial analysis of Italian provinces
Water saving in crop production under climate and environmental changing conditions represents a critical issue for agricultural economy and sustainability. This study develops a novel approach to measure the impact of climate variability on cro[...]Article
Pesticides play a crucial role in regulating crop production by reducing crop losses and increasing crop yield and quality. However, they may threaten surface and groundwater, a phenomenon occurring at global scale, potentially causing environme[...]Article
V. Kypréos ; G. Lacquement ; F. Authier ; W. Ludwig |Cet article propose une analyse de la vulnérabilité des exploitants agricoles confrontés au risque de diminution de leau en contexte de changement climatique. Elle porte sur des petites régions du Roussillon, délimitée par le bassin versant de [...]Article
Comment économiser r eau dans les cultures dans un climat qui se réchauffe tout en maintenant la production en quantité et qualité ? Trois agronomes spécialistes des productions végétales ont accepté de répondre à cette question.Article
Le changement climatique va modifier la disponibilité en eau. La manière de sy adapter peut être examinée à laune de situations actuelles où la pénurie existe déjà. Cest le cas du bassin versant de la Tille qui a engagé une planification des [...]Article
This paper presents an analytical framework to identify and understand grassroots water governance practices, which we call 'rooted water collectives' (RWC). RWCs can be multi-scalar organizations that engage in common property resources managem[...]Article

Stupic ; I. Tomaz ; M. Zovko |Stony karst landscape in the Adriatic coastal area has been cultivated for centuries to grow Mediterranean crops. Shallow and less fertile soils were mostly used for rain-fed grapevine and olive production. Native grapevine cultivars are, in gen[...]Article
Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource worldwide, suggesting that water rationing methods should be revised to improve water allocation efficiency, especially during cyclical scarcity events (droughts). The proportional rule is the mo[...]Article
