Yet, water shortage is a common element of many irrigated river basins in semi-arid and arid climates. Surface water is becoming rapidly a constraint for keeping the agro-sector healthy. The short term solution of many irrigators is to switch to groundwater exploitation, but this is not a sustainable practice. Many irrigated river basins are in a situation where the total volume of evapotranspiration surpasses the total precipitation. The extra evapotranspiration can be ascribed to these groundwater irrigation practices, and this should discontinue. ..... For more information visit http://www.icid.org/icid_webinar.html.
