“…Drip irrigation uses less water than surface irrigation; thus, the irrigation water productivity is larger for drip systems in cotton production areas [15]. Rising water shortages [16,17] correlates the burden on agricultural productivity and sustainable increase in food demand [18]. AquaCrop model of the United Nations is simple, user friendly, and is practical for ultimate users such as extension workers, water managers, and professionals of irrigation organizations for planning purposes [19].…”

AquaCrop is a water-driven model that simulates the effect of environment and management on crop production under deficit irrigation. The model was calibrated and validated using three databases and four irrigation treatments (i.e., 100%ET, 80%ET, 70%ET, and 50%ET). Model performance was evaluated by simulating canopy cover (CC), biomass accumulation, and water productivity (WP). Statistics of root mean square error (RMSE) and Willmott’s index of agreement (d) showed that model predictions are suitable for non-stressed and moderate stressed conditions. The results showed that the simulated biomass and yield were consistent with the measured values with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.976 and 0.950, respectively. RMSE and d-index values for canopy cover (CC) were 2.67% to 4.47% and 0.991% to 0.998% and for biomass were 0.088 to 0.666 ton/ha and 0.991 to 0.999 ton/ha, respectively. Prediction of simulated and measured biomass and final yield was acceptable with deviation ˂10%. The overall value of R2 for WP in terms of yield was 0.943. Treatment with 80% ET consumed 20% less water than the treatment with 100%ET and resulted in high WP in terms of yield (0.6 kg/m3) and biomass (1.74 kg/m3), respectively. The deviations were in the range of −2% to 11% in yield and −2% to 4% in biomass. It was concluded that AquaCrop is a useful tool in predicting the productivity of cotton under different irrigation scenarios.

“…6 Many attempts and experiments have been made to reserve the essential natural resource and make it readily available. Scientists have developed plants for liquid water harvest, such as water desalination plants, 7,8 groundwater harvesting plants, and rainwater harvesting plants. Water desalination plant provides freshwater on a large scale, however, the equipment used and the energy consumption is quite costly.…”

Thermally driven adsorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) is becoming an emerging technology to provide potable water. In this regard, various adsorbent materials including solid (MOFs, silica-gels, and zeolites), liquid (CaCl2 and LiCl), and composite adsorbents are explored in the literature. This study reviews recent advancements in adsorbent materials based on their water production capacity at different conditions that is air temperature and relative humidity (RH). The MOF of type MIL-101(Cr) shows water production capacity of 3.10 L/m2/day at RH ranging from 10% to 40%. Similarly, Zr-MOF-808 possesses water production capacity of 8.60 L/m2/day at RH more than 50%. Among the studied silica-gels, mesoporous silica-gel shows highest water production capacity that is 1.30 L/m2/day at RH ranging from 10% to 40%. The zeolite yielded water production capacity of 0.94 L/m2/day at RH ranging from 10% to 40%. On the other hand, liquid adsorbents like CaCl2 + cloth, K-LiCl showed water production capacity of 3.02 L/m2/day, and 2.9 g/g/day, respectively at RH of about 70%. Composite adsorbent modified with binary salts and functionalized carbon nanotubes resulted water production capacity of 5.60 g/g at RH of about 35%. The study will be useful to identify the energy-efficient adsorbent for the development of sustainable AWH device.

“…The ADS works mainly on two processes: (i) adsorption-evaporation and (ii) desorptioncondensation. In the first process, the adsorbent adsorbs vapors from the evaporator that is filled by seawater, producing a cooling effect at the evaporator along with desalination at condenser [1][2][3][4][5]. A growing number of studies have been devoted to the field of adsorption desalination systems.…”

In this paper, improving the overall heat transfer coefficient by adding aluminum species to silica gel has been studied theoretically. An adsorption desalination system is proposed, and a lumped theoretical model conducted to investigate employing the metal additives within the adsorbent bed with and without a heat recovery between condenser and evaporator. A 30% of the total mass of the adsorbent bed contents was considered to be replaced by aluminum species. According to this, the overall heat transfer coefficient has been increased by 260%, which shows a good impact on the performance of the adsorption system. Daily water productivity was increased by 70% at the worst-case, reaching up to 17 m3/day/ton of silica gel without heat recovery. By employing heat recovery with the metal filing, the daily water productivity reached 42 m3/day/ton of silica gel which is four times the productivity of the classic silica gel-based adsorption desalination system.
