TL;DR: In this article, the impacts of climate change on irrigation water demand have been modelled and mapped using a combination of crop and geographic information systems, maps showing the predicted spatial impacts of changes in agroclimate (climate variables that determine the irrigation requirements) and irrigation need have been produced.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study is presented based on a survey of 36,000ha of recently modernized irrigated areas in the Guadalquivir basin (southern Spain).

TL;DR: In this article, an economic optimisation model for hydrologic planning in deficit irrigation systems is proposed, which is carried out following an economic efficiency criterion with the aim of maximising the overall economic benefits obtained, allocating available water to each user as a function of the water's profit margin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the technical aspects of this process and present some of the main models and tools for improving irrigation infrastructure design and management, as well as the benefits of irrigation modernization include increased water efficiency and productivity, improved operation and management of irrigation systems and working conditions of farmers, but increased energy demands and investment amount.

TL;DR: In this paper, a joint evaluation of crop water footprint accounting and irrigation management indicators is proposed as a diagnostic tool to identify the hotspots of irrigated agricultural systems based on this analysis, specific actions can be defined to improve water use efficiency, reduce water abstractions and polluted water returns, and maintain production rates.
