Furthermore, it provides on-farm management that faces water scarcity under current situation and under climate change. Changing cultivation method (raised beds instead of furrows or basins) or increasing irrigation application efficiency (sprinkler or drip systems instead of surface irrigation) can reduce the applied water. Irrigated agriculture, although profitable, it endures wasteful use of valuable water resources. Taking into account the risk of climate change, developing countries like Egypt will highly suffer. Furthermore, the effect of intercropping (two crops use the applied water to one of them), and/or using crop rotations (arrange crops to reduce the applied water, increase water productivity and sustain soil fertility) on production and consumed irrigation water by crops were comprehensively analyzed.SpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,2194-7244Climatic changesEnvironmental managementAgricultureClimate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000Climate Change Management and Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000Agriculturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006Climatic changes.Environmental management.Agriculture.Climate Change.Water Policy/Water Governance/Water Management.Climate Change Management and Policy.Agriculture.338.14Ouda Samihaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut904435MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254137503321Major Crops and Water Scarcity in Egypt2502043UNINA
