Implication

Analysis reveals increasing crop water and irrigation needs in semi-arid regions, suggesting urgent adaptations. The study informs effective rainfall impacts on agricultural sustainability.

Key Points

  • Crop water requirements and irrigation needs are projected to increase significantly by the end of the 21st century.
  • In semi-arid areas, effective rainfall will be reduced by approximately 10%, impacting agricultural sustainability.
  • Utilizing the CROPWAT model, this study forecasts irrigation requirements under various climate scenarios.
  • Changes in climatic conditions disproportionately threaten semi-arid agricultural systems more than arid ones.
