Abstract:In the Mediterranean region, the quantity of water utilized for agricultural purposes ranges from 50 to 70%. Among the most water-demanding agricultural sectors are arboriculture and perennial crops.

This study aims to classify farms at the watershed scale according to their irrigation water consumption, and starting from this classification we aim to… Show more
