Discussion

Evaluation reveals improved water productivity and reduced yield gaps in Pothohar's transitioning agroecosystems.

Water productivity increased by effective irrigation, especially high‐efficiency systems, optimizing yield in semi‐arid regions.
Long-term yield data shows significant differences in yield between rainfed and irrigated areas across Pothohar.
Assessment with the FAO AquaCrop model demonstrates improved soil moisture and water efficiency with advanced irrigation methods.
Findings highlight crucial inefficiencies in prevailing farming practices, emphasizing the need for sustainable irrigation solutions.

Khalil et al. (2025) studied this question.
