Résumé : | This paper aims at discussing several issues which can improve the management of irrigation systems to cope with droughts and water scarcity. The concept of drought is therefore analysed together with those of aridity, desertification and water shortage, so to better identify droughts among other water scarcity conditions. Main characteristics of droughts are then discussed, pointing out the needs for developing adequate monitoring and information systems. These include drought watch systems, which could follow the initiation, development and dissipation of droughts, and thus providing the information for decision makers and users. Such information systems are then analysed as a fundamental tool for supply management. Other aspects of supply management referred here in concern the enhancement of reservoir and conveyance capacities, the improvement of operation and management tools, the supply rules to be enforced during droughts, the training of managers, operators and farmers, and emergency planning. Finally, several aspects of demand management are discussed, including developments in irrigation scheduling and irrigation methods, as well as implications on farmers incomes resulting from adopting reduced demand strategies |
