Variability in the Water Footprint of Arable Crop Production across European Regions

Variability in the Water Footprint of Arable Crop Production across European Regions

Crop growth and yield are affected by water use during the season: the green water footprint (WF) accounts for rain water, the blue WF for irrigation and the grey WF for diluting agri-chemicals. We calibrated crop yield for FAO’s water balance model “Aquacrop” at field level. We collected weather, s...
