The variability of fresh water availability in arid and semi-arid countries poses a serious challenge to farmers to cope with when depending on irrigation for crop growing. This has shifted the focus onto improving irrigation management and water productivity (WP) through controlled deficit...

<Para ID="Par1">Although water scarcity is a well-understood concept, it is difficult to define it precisely and furthermore, to address the water scarcity which requires a complicated set of water actions. In this work, with the aim to face the complexity of water scarcity, we propose the establishment of...</para>
