Abstract

For centuries man has been concerned to some degree with the efficient use of water in the production of his crops. This chapter provides a general historical and current perspective to the detailed and specific discussions that are essential to understanding efficient water use. It re-evaluates the fundamental concept of water-use efficiency. The central question examined is the nature of the ratio of biomass productivity to evapotranspiration, and its inherent variability. Even field crops on good soils that only occasionally suffer severe yield decreases are irrigated to provide production stability, which is important with high land values and other high operational costs. Costs of the water are minimized by improving irrigation techniques, reducing soil evaporation, increasing water recovery by the crop, etc. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
