In this line, this book provides a broad overview of innovation issues in the complex water–agriculture–food nexus, thus also relative to their interconnections and dependences. Issues refer to different spatial scales, from the field or the farm to the irrigation system or the river basin. Multidisciplinary approaches are used when analyzing the relationships between water, agriculture, and food security. The covered issues are quite diverse and include: innovation in crop evapotranspiration, crop coefficients and modeling; updates in research relative to crop water use and saving; irrigation scheduling and systems design; simulation models to support water and agricultural decisions; issues to cope with water scarcity and climate change; advances in water resource quality and sustainable uses; new tools for mapping and use of remote sensing information; and fostering a participative and inclusive governance of water for food security and population welfare. This book brings together a variety of contributions by leading international experts, professionals, and scholars in those diverse fields. It represents a major synthesis and state-of-the-art on various subjects, thus providing a valuable and updated resource for all researchers, professionals, policymakers, and post-graduate students interested in the complex world of the water–agriculture–food nexus.hysteresis loopsirrigation systems designfuzzy cognitive mapsStandardized Precipitation Index (SPI)olive orchardKcb from ground covercrop growthsurface water pollutioncrop water use and evapotranspirationmeasureswater–energy–food nexuswater-agriculture-food nexusdrought classessoil temperaturepressurescrop water requirementsStandardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI)validationlatent heat fluxlog-linear modelingimpactRow cropsdried on the vinereformTagus River Basinprecise land levellingregulated deficit irrigationTransferrelative pressure exceedanceirrigation districtevaporationIrrigationperturbationaridity effectseconomic and environmental issueswater users’ organizationpressurized irrigation systemsdecision support systems (DSS)Pampa biomecrop yieldreference evapotranspirationDPSIRSIMDualKc modelsemi-arid regionwheatcalibrationdesign of irrigation systemsDensity coefficientsimulation modelsbiomasscrop transpirationgroundwaterdirect forcingSpainsatellite observationsmaize yieldwater and salt balancesoil water balancespatial variabilitypersistencesupply–demand balance modelsustained deficit irrigationleaf area indexevapotranspirationeddy covariancedry drainage systemdroughtsParticipatory Irrigation ManagementBlack soilsurface irrigation modellingdrip and basin irrigationremote sensingcrop coefficient curvesirrigation schedulingunsteady flowroot growthNorth Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)Sensitive Zonessoil evaporationactual evapotranspirationagricultural intensificationorganizational analysispolicieswater and land managementagriculturehydrant risk indicatorevaporative fractionlocal advectionFiesta grapesEvapotranspirationDual crop coefficientsVulnerable Zonessalinitycut-off timesoil moistureirrigation water governancenitrogenAndalusiaCornbasal crop coefficientswater balanceparticipatory managementbeneficial water usesoil nutrientwater users associationdeficit irrigationstakeholder engagementnew technologiessmartphone applicationdrip irrigationLycopersicon esculentum Mill.inflow ratespolicy-makingsoil water storage depletionon-demand operationCameira Maria do Rosarioauth1331915Pereira Luis SantosauthBOOK9910346689403321Innovation Issues in Water, Agriculture and Food3040645UNINA
