Promoting innovation to improve both productivity and sustainability of irrigated farming systems is crucial for the first question addressed within the Sustainable Development Goals process led by the United Nations. This is a complex task that requires methods and processes which include a diversity of knowledge. For this reason, participatory approaches have been increasingly encouraged. A broad range of methods have been d...

The precise estimation of water demand at large‐scale irrigation perimeters is a key requirement for water management. Most methods for estimating water demand use biophysical models and cropping patterns but do not account for the wide range of actual farming practices. As a result, these methods only allow estimation of theoretical water demand. The objective of this study was to analyze different methods for evaluating irri...
