Bio-economic analysis of irrigation schedules considering shallow groundwater: lessons from South Africa

Abstract Due to the pressure on South Africa’s irrigated agriculture to improve efficiency and optimal water use, irrigators must consider alternative water sources, such as root-accessible shallow groundwater tables, to supply the crop evapotranspiration requirement. Devising irrigation scheduling...
