Crop-specific seasonal estimates of irrigation-water demand in South Asia

In the main rivers in South Asia shifts in runoff are expected as a result of a rapidly changing climate

Abstract

Paper looks at the Himalayan headwaters of the main rivers in South Asia and the seasonal pattern in irrigation water demand from multiple cropping. Crop irrigation-water demand differs sharply between seasons and regions.
