Hydrological modeling for landscape and catchment scale applications requires upscaling of soil hydraulic parameters which are generally only available at point scale. We present a case study where hourly root zone soil water content and drainage observations from nine flat, pastoral sites (Waikato and Canterbury regions in New Zealand) were used t...

The impact of climate variability on the water requirements of crops is a key issue in a globalized world with unprecedented population and unevenly distributed water resources. Changes of hydro-climatic forcings may have significant impacts on water resources use, considering the possible effects on irrigation requirements and crop water stress. I...

Deze brochure zoomt in op maatregelen die de veehouders willen nemen. Het is hun aanbod aan de samenleving, dat als basis kan dienen om gezamenlijk afspraken te maken voor het gebied. De voorgenomen maatregelen zijn het resultaat van een driedaags ontwerpatelier waaraan 15 melkveehouders, het agrarisch Collectief Alblasserwaard/Vijfheerenlanden en ...

Annual vegetation aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) exhibits a non-linear dependence on annual precipitation. A common pattern of non-linearity, called asymmetry, arises when productivity responses in wet years are larger than declines in dry years. To date, ANPP asymmetry has been attributed primarily to vegetation water stress, an inter...

ABSTRACT Sugarcane is both an important crop for the Brazilian Northeast economy, which faces severe water scarcity, and a water-intensive crop. Thus, it is important to develop irrigation strategies to reduce irrigation water demand in the region. This study aims to determine the sugarcane planting date that results in the maximum rainwater availa...

A critical component of water-resources management in the irrigated agriculture landscape, particularly those landscapes dependent on groundwater availability, is determining groundwater recharge rates from streams and other channels. In California, flows in many such channels are “controlled” by upstream reservoir releases to meet downstream urban...

Op basis van een casestudie in de Proefpolder Gagelweg, onderdeel van Polder Groot Wilnis-Vinkeveen, is een aanpak ontwikkeld om gebiedsgericht duurzaamheidsopgaves aan te pakken op het vlak van waterkwaliteit. Door te focussen op een afgebakend gebied kunnen met een integrale aanpak en goede samenwerking tussen boeren en overige stakeholders daadw...

The estimation of crop water demand and understanding groundwater use is an essential component for managing water effectively. Groundwater is the main source of irrigation in Dangila. However, there is a lack of information in the study area on amount of irrigated land, irrigation water use and demand, groundwater recharge. Consequently, the objec...

Estimating groundwater recharge using mathematical models such as water budget or soil water balance method has been proved to be very difficult due to the complex, uncertain multidimensional nature of the process, despite the simplicity of the concept. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been proposed to deal with this complexity and unce...
