Impact of Climate Change on Mediterranean Irrigation Demand: Historical Dynamics of Climate and Future Projections
García-Garizábal, I.; Causapé, J.; Abrahao, R.; … - In: Water Resources Management 28 (2014) 5, pp. 1449-1462
Global warming is causing important changes in climate conditions, which must be studied in detail and locally in those zones where irrigated agriculture is developed—the major consumer of water worldwide. This study proposes the climatic characterization of a historical series (1971–2000)...
