Modeling irrigation behavior in groundwater systems - Foster - 2014 - Water Resources Research - Wiley Online Library
Source: agupubs-onlinelibrary-wiley-com.libproxy.ucl.ac.uk
Article summary:
1. Groundwater plays a critical role in maintaining agricultural productivity and food security in semiarid and arid regions.
2. Integrated hydro-economic analyses are valuable tools for policy development in coupled human-water systems, but current representations of optimal water use decision making need to be improved.
3. This study develops a model of irrigation decision making that incorporates biophysical and hydrogeological parameters to better predict agricultural water demand.
Article analysis:
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy, as it provides an overview of the current state of research on modeling irrigation behavior in groundwater systems, as well as a detailed description of the proposed model for predicting agricultural water demand. The article is well-researched and supported by evidence from multiple sources, including Rodell et al., 2009; Gleeson et al., 2012; Scanlon et al., 2012; Wada et al., 2012; Steward et al., 2013; Sauer et al., 2010; Brown et al., 2013; Elliott et al., 2013; Schewe et al., 2013; Harou et al., 2009; Schoups et al., 2006; Harou and Lund, 2008; Maneta et al., 2009; Brozović et al., 2010; Bulatewicz et al., 2010; Varela-Ortega et al., 2011; Doorenbos and Kassam, 1979; Cai and Wang, 2006; Brumbelow and Georgakakos, 2007; Geerts et al., 2009 ; Schütze and Schmitz, 2010 ; García-Vila and Fereres, 2012 ; Kloss et al., 2012 ; Jones 2004 ; National Agricultural Statistics Service 2008 ; Smith 1992 ; Clark & Rogers 2002 ; Steduto 2009 .
