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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Water Science and Technology,$x2194-7244 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aAgriculture. 676 $a338.14 700 $aOuda$b Samiha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0904435 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254137503321 996 $aMajor Crops and Water Scarcity in Egypt$92502043 997 $aUNINA
