Although the application of deficit irrigation can involve loss in crop productivity, it still secures water to be use in cultivating more lands and producing more food. The following questions are discussed and the authors offer solutions to these problems: Will the production, on a national level, resulting from these new added areas compensate yield losses attained by application of deficit irrigation? Is it possible to use deficit irrigation practice to reduce the applied irrigation water to certain crops that have a surplus in their production, and direct this saved water to cultivate new areas with crops have low self-sufficiency ratios? Under climate change in 2030, would deficit irrigation practice have the same role it plays under the current conditions? This book will appeal to students and researchers involved with water scarcity and food security. 606 $aPollution 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aClimatology 606 $aBotany 606 $aPollution 606 $aWater 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aClimate Sciences 606 $aPlant Science 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aClimatology. 615 0$aBotany. 615 14$aPollution. 615 24$aWater. 615 24$aAgriculture. 615 24$aClimate Sciences. 615 24$aPlant Science. 676 $a628.168 700 $aOuda$b Samiha$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0904435 702 $aZohry$b Abd El-Hafeez$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aNoreldin$b Tahany$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373882003321 996 $aDeficit Irrigation$92022312 997 $aUNINA
