The objective of this paper is to propose an alternative measure of irrigation water efficiency based on the concept of …-specific estimates of technical and irrigation water efficiency. In addition, a second-stage regression approach is used to identify the … factors influencing irrigation water efficiency differentials across citrus growing farms. Results indicate that technical …
