A comprehensive analysis of crop water footprint (WFP), water use efficiency (WUE) and economic water productivity (EWP) between 2010 and 2020 in two climatically and economically diverse agricultural regions: Punjab, Pakistan and Western Australia, Australia was undertaken. Using the Water Footprint Network method and climate, soil and agricultural production data, the study quantified green, blue and grey water footprints fo...

Climate change has a substantial impact on Chinese canola production, introducing a high level of uncertainty regarding future climatic conditions and their potential impact on canola production and gross margins. This study focused on identifying the optimal irrigation strategy to enhance the profitability of canola production in the Guanzhong Plain under future climate change conditions. In this study, we used the calibrated...

Modernization of irrigation systems is considered to improve irrigation efficiency, save water, and increase crop yields in water-scare semi-arid regions. This study conducted a long-term (10-years) simulations evaluating the potential effects of three different irrigation scenarios on soil water and salt balances, and crop water productivity of cotton-wheat cultivation in the Hakra Branch Canal command of Punjab, Pakistan. Th...
