In many countries, containment measures prescribed by national governments restricted the movements of entire communities, with t[...]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
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

Consequently, irrigation systems are tremend[...]Article
The pressure of growing urbanization, industrialization and water scarcity resulting from climate change imposes limitations on the amount of water allocated to agriculture. There will need to be an increase in food production of almost 50% by 2[...]Article
Etant conscient de limportance et de lactualité du sujet de la gestion de leau au Maroc. Et surtout de la gestion rationnelle qui devrait tenir compte des impacts du changement climatique sur les ressources naturelles et sur lagriculture. No[...]Article
Le Maroc est essentiellement un pays aride à semi aride: plus de 85 % de sa superficie reçoivent moins de 400 mm de pluie par an. En outre, les scénarios du changement climatique prédisent une chute de près de 15 % des précipitations et une haus[...]Article
En Algérie le climat se dérègle, leau se raréfie, que faire ? Alors pour répondre à cette interrogation, lhistoire de lhydraulique Algérienne et plus particulièrement les principaux ouvrages ancestraux ont été examinés dans ce papier. Evoque[...]Article
