The Mediterranean region is widely acknowledged as one of the most exposed in the world
to the effects of climate change, water scarcity, biodiversity loss and land degradation …

Inter-basin water transfer projects (IBTs) have significantly increased in number in recent
decades due to the unremitting need to solve the problem of global water imbalance …

We examined the effects of hydrological variables such as irrigation area, irrigation
efficiency and water storage on the resilience of (mostly commercial) irrigated agriculture to …

The irrigation efficiency paradox says that raising the efficiency of irrigation systems, thereby
reducing return flows, either gives no change in water depletion or it raises depletion via …

China is currently facing the significant task of effectively managing its water resources to
satisfy the rising needs while grappling with the growing worries of water shortage. In this …

Based on understandings of a natural resource commons, we examine the competition for
redistributed irrigation water following water conservation. A 'paracommons' is characterised …

Global freshwater biodiversity has been decreasing rapidly, requiring the restoration and
maintenance of environmental flows (EFs) in streams and rivers. EFs provide many …

Sustainable water management requires evidence-based information on the current and
future states of water resources. This study presents a comprehensive modelling framework …

Abstract The United Nations Food Systems Summit aimed to chart a path toward
transforming food systems toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Despite …

Sustainable agricultural intensification requires irrigation methods and strategies to
minimize yield penalties while optimizing water, land and energy use efficiencies. We …
