Optimal Crop Water Allocation in Case of Drought Occurrence, Imposing Deficit Irrigation with Proportional Cutback Constraint
Homayounfar, Mehran; Lai, Sai; Zomorodian, Mehdi; … - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 10, pp. 3207-3225
Optimal crop water allocation has become more challenging in drier areas of the world (short of rainfall) due to increased water scarcity and more frequent droughts. alternative cropping patterns, reallocation of water resources and modification of irrigation are some of the strategies used to...
