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. 610 $ahysteresis loops 610 $airrigation systems design 610 $afuzzy cognitive maps 610 $aStandardized Precipitation Index (SPI) 610 $aolive orchard 610 $aKcb from ground cover 610 $acrop growth 610 $asurface water pollution 610 $acrop water use and evapotranspiration 610 $ameasures 610 $awater?energy?food nexus 610 $awater-agriculture-food nexus 610 $adrought classes 610 $asoil temperature 610 $apressures 610 $acrop water requirements 610 $aStandardized Precipitation and Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) 610 $avalidation 610 $alatent heat flux 610 $alog-linear modeling 610 $aimpact 610 $aRow crops 610 $adried on the vine 610 $areform 610 $aTagus River Basin 610 $aprecise land levelling 610 $aregulated deficit irrigation 610 $aTransfer 610 $arelative pressure exceedance 610 $airrigation district 610 $aevaporation 610 $aIrrigation 610 $aperturbation 610 $aaridity effects 610 $aeconomic and environmental issues 610 $awater users? organization 610 $apressurized irrigation systems 610 $adecision support systems (DSS) 610 $aPampa biome 610 $acrop yield 610 $areference evapotranspiration 610 $aDPSIR 610 $aSIMDualKc model 610 $asemi-arid region 610 $awheat 610 $acalibration 610 $adesign of irrigation systems 610 $aDensity coefficient 610 $asimulation models 610 $abiomass 610 $acrop transpiration 610 $agroundwater 610 $adirect forcing 610 $aSpain 610 $asatellite observations 610 $amaize yield 610 $awater and salt balance 610 $asoil water balance 610 $aspatial variability 610 $apersistence 610 $asupply?demand balance model 610 $asustained deficit irrigation 610 $aleaf area index 610 $aevapotranspiration 610 $aeddy covariance 610 $adry drainage system 610 $adroughts 610 $aParticipatory Irrigation Management 610 $aBlack soil 610 $asurface irrigation modelling 610 $adrip and basin irrigation 610 $aremote sensing 610 $acrop coefficient curves 610 $airrigation scheduling 610 $aunsteady flow 610 $aroot growth 610 $aNorth Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) 610 $aSensitive Zones 610 $asoil evaporation 610 $aactual evapotranspiration 610 $aagricultural intensification 610 $aorganizational analysis 610 $apolicies 610 $awater and land management 610 $aagriculture 610 $ahydrant risk indicator 610 $aevaporative fraction 610 $alocal advection 610 $aFiesta grapes 610 $aEvapotranspiration 610 $aDual crop coefficients 610 $aVulnerable Zones 610 $asalinity 610 $acut-off time 610 $asoil moisture 610 $airrigation water governance 610 $anitrogen 610 $aAndalusia 610 $aCorn 610 $abasal crop coefficients 610 $awater balance 610 $aparticipatory management 610 $abeneficial water use 610 $asoil nutrient 610 $awater users association 610 $adeficit irrigation 610 $astakeholder engagement 610 $anew technologies 610 $asmartphone application 610 $adrip irrigation 610 $aLycopersicon esculentum Mill. 610 $ainflow rates 610 $apolicy-making 610 $asoil water storage depletion 610 $aon-demand operation 700 $aPereira$b Luis Santos$0508632 702 $ado Rosario Cameira$b Maria 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346689403321 996 $aInnovation Issues in Water, Agriculture and Food$94318164 997 $aUNINA
