TL;DR: The use of water for agricultural production in water scarcity regions requires innovative and sustainable research, and an appropriate transfer of technologies as mentioned in this paper, which is why it is important to adopt emerging technologies for water management as well as to develop appropriate methodologies for the analysis of social, economic, and environmental benefits of improved irrigation management.

TL;DR: Water productivity is defined as the net return for a unit of water used as mentioned in this paper, and it is the amount of water that can be used to produce more food, income, better livelihoods and ecosystem services with less water.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the world's semi-arid and dry sub-humid savannah and steppe regions as global hotspots, in terms of water related constraints to food production, high prevalence of malnourishment and poverty, and rapidly increasing food demands.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated water-yield relations for bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum L.), and optimal irrigation scheduling was proposed for various rainfall conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the major research findings regarding improving water productivity in the dry rainfed region of West Asia and North Africa and show that substantial and sustainable improvements in water productivity can only be achieved through integrated farm resources management.
