Estimating Productivity of Water At Different Spatial Scales Using Simulation Modeling
Published:
January 1, 2001U.S. Agency for International Development
Implementing real water saving measures in irrigated agriculture is only possible if all the components of the current water balance are clearly understood. Although measurement of all these components is infeasible on a spatial and temporal scale, hydrological simulation models can fill the gap...Read more
