Agriculture requirements
Agriculture requirements
For each administrative unit: the left panel illustrates the current agricultural area (year 2017) by crop and irrigation regime; the right panel shows the water requirements to expand irrigation and meet the yield and food production objectives in each scenario, month and year (between 2020 and 2050). Refer to the Scenarios page for a detailed characterisation of each scenario's assumptions and objectives.
The proximity parameter allows distinguishing between agricultural land (and the relative water requirements) in proximity (<5 km) or remote (>5 km) from the closest human settlement. This has important implications for the selection of off-grid vs. on-grid electricity supply for on-the-field water pumping.
