Future water scarcities in the face of an increasing population, climate change and the
unsustainable use of aquifers will present major challenges to global food production. The …

Water footprint assessment is a developing method that is being increasingly applied to
quantify water use, prioritise reductions, assess sustainability and provide information to …

Explaining variation of smallholder irrigation water values is a critical element in water
allocation and management. However, it has been hampered by data deficiencies at …

Crop water footprint (WF) is the volume of fresh water used to produce a certain crop in all
the steps in the production line. The CROPWAT model was used to calculate crop …

Agriculture in developing countries will have to transform and increase production by an
estimated 70% in order to meet demands by 2050. Although well‐managed commercial …

The surface renewal (SR) method was used to determine the long-term (12 months) total
evaporation (ET) from the Mfabeni Mire with calibration using eddy covariance during two …

Long-term cropping system experiments are one of the most reliable sources of information
for informing sustainable agriculture and predicting future trends. When combined with crop …

Intensification of low-tech agricultural production is required in the Greater Giyani
Municipality (Limpopo province, South Africa) to respond to changing climatic conditions …

Abstract During 2013–2014 period, the surface renewal (SR)–energy balance (EB) method
combined with the water balance approach was adopted to define the energy and water …

Accurate quantification of net radiation flux (R n) is of paramount importance for the
estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ET 0) rate, which is used to estimate crop water …
