Objectives
The objectives of this study funded by the Bank Netherlands Water Partnership are:
- Quantify differences between diversion, depletion and return flow in the irrigation sector, and show that these flows have different management options, and that 'water use' is a misleading terminology
- Show that improvement of local irrigation efficiencies only shifts the problem to downstream areas and does not form a solution for local scale sustainable water resources management
- Introduce concepts of evapotranspiration ET management and real water savings, i.e. restoring the water balance by reduction of comprehensive ET
- Quantify agricultural and environmental water consumption
- Create awareness of technical possibilities to derive strategic datasets from remote sensing measurements coupled with hydrological simulation models
