A SWAT modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on consumptive water use in Lower Chenab Canal area of Indus basin
Accurate assessment of spatio-temporal variations of consumptive water use (CWU) in large
irrigation schemes is crucial for several hydrological applications. This study is designed to evaluate
the impact of climate change ...
Managing Scarce Water Resources in Agriculture; Towards a paradigm change
Water scarcity intensifying as many countries with chronic water scarcity, in addition the water for agriculture in dry areas is declining and Climate change adds to the problem.
A new concept of irrigation response units for effective management of surface and groundwater resources: a case study from the multi‑country Fergana Valley, Central Asia
When estimating canal water supplies for largescale irrigation schemes and especially in arid regions
worldwide, the impact of all factors affecting the gross
irrigation requirements (GIR) are not properly accounted
for, ...
