“…The irrigation is demand-driven, hence reducing the chances of overwatering. By directing irrigation exclusively at the crop rather than the entire field, bare soil evaporation losses are also reduced (Narayanamoorthy 2004, Grafton et al 2018, Wang et al 2018, Verma et al 2020. Besides a lower water requirement, other advantages of drip irrigation over traditional flood irrigation include improved yield, effective fertilizer application, reduced cost (except implementation cost) of cultivation, energy savings, and thus increased income of farmers (Narayanmoorthy 2009, Palanisami et al 2018, Jain et al 2019, Pool et al 2022.…”

Indian river basins are intensively managed with country-specific agricultural practices of cultivating submerged paddy and uncontrolled groundwater irrigation. Numerical experiments with the state-of-the-art land surface models, such as Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC), without incorporating region-specific practices, could be misleading. Here, we coupled VIC with 2D groundwater model AMBHAS, incorporating India-specific irrigation practices and crop practices, including submerged paddy fields. We performed numerical experiments to understand the causal factors of groundwater depletion in the Northwest Indo-Gangetic plain. We identify widespread flood irrigation and cultivation of water-intensive paddy as critical drivers of the declining groundwater scenario. Our numerical experiments suggest that the introduction of drip irrigation reduces groundwater depletion in the Northwest, but does not change the sign of groundwater level trends. The groundwater levels in the non-paddy fields of the middle IGP are less sensitive to irrigation practices due to the high return flow to groundwater for flood irrigation.

“…Ozturk et al [82] estimated the water footprint of kiwifruit in the areas transferred from hazelnut to kiwi and concluded that kiwi cultivation might be advantageous economically, but this economic benefit might be an ecological disadvantage as kiwi production is highly dependent on limited blue water resources. The cultivation of kiwifruit is increasing in India, Nepal, and Portugal [10,[83][84][85]. Pothowar Plateau in Pakistan (32.10º to 34.9ºN latitude and 71.10º to 73.55º E longitude) has an area of 1.82 million hectares and is a significant rainfed region with enormous agricultural, economic, and cultural significance [86][87][88][89].…”

Climate variability affects the phenological, physiological, and morphological adaptability of Kiwifruit. Hence, five Kiwifruit varieties were evaluated under variable rainfed climatic conditions in Pothowar. Phenological data of all five varieties was observed at both study sites, including bud initiation, bud swelling, and bud burst. Goldflesh (GDF) and Green Flesh 1 (GF1) were observed to be late in bud burst and to have poor physio-morphological responses and plant survival rates. In contrast, Hayward (H), Bruno (B), and Greenflesh 2 (GF2) exhibited superior performance in terms of plant physiological and morphological traits (e.g., heat damage percentage, photosynthetic activity, shoot length, t runk diameter, d isease incidence percentage, and survival rate). Greenflesh 2 (GF2) plants at both study locations exhibited a lower percentage of heat damage (4.25 and 5.83) than
