The worsening water scarcity has imposed a significant stress on food production in many
parts of the world. This stress becomes more critical when countries seek self-sufficiency. A …

The frequency, duration, and severity of droughts have increased substantially in recent
decades, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Understanding the responses …

Applying hydrological concepts, such as water footprint, economical water footprint, and
virtual water trade is necassary to improve water resource management. This study …

Field stresses such as salinity and fertility stresses affect on stomatal resistance and
evapotranspiration (ET). But the effects of these stresses were ignored in the determination …

The sustenance of rice cultivation in a region is highly dependent on future water availability
under changing climate. The dams and reservoirs can play a major role in regional water …

Limited-transpiration rate at high evaporative demand ('LTR'trait) has potential to improve
