Combining the FAO56 agrohydrological model and remote sensing data to assess water demand in a Sicilian irrigation district
2020
<p>Agricultural water use in irrigated areas plays a key role in the Mediterranean regions characterized by semi-arid climate and water shortage. In the face of optimizing irrigation water use, farmers must revise their irrigation practices to increase the drought resilience of agricultural systems and to avoid severe damages in agro-ecosystems. In this direction, during the last decades, the research has been focused on mathematical models to simulate the process of driving mass transport and energy exchanges in the Soil-Plant-Atmosphere system.</p><p>The objective of the paper was to test the suitability of the combination of FAO56 agro-hydrologi…
