Abstract-

Development and Application of a Predictive Model for Treated Wastewater Irrigation Management in a Semiarid Area

“…Regarding irrigation scheduling, the ongoing proposed strategies for TWW reuse continue to rely on the traditional modeling of irrigation plans that are intended for conventional water sources. They are mostly based on the evapotranspiration demand, which means that the delivered water to the crops is obtained as the difference between seasonal evapotranspiration and precipitation deficit (Lonigro et al 2015; Khelil et al 2017; Libutti et al 2018). Traditional irrigation plans can also be based on the soil water depletion ratio, as irrigation occurs whenever the soil water deficit in the effective root zone reaches a predefined limit value of the total available water (TAW) (Allen et al 1998).…”
