| Abstract
|
Drip irrigation is widely recognised as the most efficient irrigation technique and often portrayed as the best solution to increase agricultural production whilst reducing the demand for water.
This Technical Brief discusses the terminology around water accounting and evapotranspiration. It examines how water availability increases crop production and discusses several possible interventions to optimise biomass water productivity and reports on efficiency gains which have to be looked at carefully.
