TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined four sets of scenarios that vary in their focus on investments in rainfed agriculture and irrigation, and the role of international trade in adjusting for national disparities in water endowments.

TL;DR: Molden et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a comprehensive assessment of water management in agriculture, focusing on water for food, water for life, and water for the future of agriculture.

TL;DR: The authors of the recently completed Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture (CA) concluded that there are sufficient water resources to produce food for a growing population but that trends in consumption, production and environmental patterns, if continued, will lead to water crises in many parts of the world as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have described the flow of virtual water between countries that engage in the trade of agricultural crops and livestock products and suggested that water-short countries should import water-intensive agricultural products from water-abundant countries, while using their limited domestic water resources for higher valued activities.

TL;DR: In contrast to wastewater, saline and sodic water contains salts that can impair plantgrowth but rarely contain metals or pathogens as discussed by the authors, which can lead to soil salinization and waterlogging.
