Evaluating the impact of drought and water restrictions on agricultural production in irrigated areas through crop water productivity functions and a remote sensing-based evapotran... by Joaquim Bellvert, Magí Pamies-Sans, Jaume Casadesús, Joan Girona

“…Since crop yield is closely linked to the water used (crop actual evapotranspiration, ETcact), this study proposes a novel approach based on using crop water productivity functions and a remote sensing-based surface energy balance model to spatially estimate ETcact. The research was conducted across fourteen irrigation districts in Lleida and Girona, Spain, simulating six scenarios with different levels of precipitation and water rights reductions. …”
