Matching agricultural freshwater supply and demand: Recycling wastewater through subirrigation

“Agriculture is confronted with increasing challenges associated with climate change such as prolonged periods of drought alternating with more intensive rainfall events, and more broadly with water scarcity issues which result in increasing crop damages. Strategies are being developed to control these risks and to secure long-term supplies of water. This requires new approaches to water management practices in which various sectors jointly search for solutions for their water needs and the needs of others.”
