“…There is a major economic loss in the field of agriculture due to environmental stresses like heat, drought, frost, and salinity. Climate change is leading to drastic effects in crop production by increasing the intensity and occurrence of stresses that pose a greater threat to sustainable crop production [ 96 ]. Various nanomaterials have been used to regulate this impact of environmental stresses thereby facilitating the growth and photosynthetic efficiency of the plants [ 97 , 98 ].…”

“…Water is the most crucial factor in producing agricultural goods and services. High water stress and increased frequency and intensity of droughts (Yin and Xu 2020), primarily driven by climate change dynamics, have reduced freshwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions like Iran (Nazari et al 2018;Vema et al 2022).…”

This study used AquaCrop to predict wheat grain yield under different irrigation and seeding densities. Experimental data from two successive growing seasons during 2004–2006 was used for model calibration and validation. After calibration, the model was used to predict grain yield for 47 years (1975–2021) with five seeding densities (120, 80, 160, 200, and 240 kg ha-1) and four irrigation schedules (7-, 10-, 13-, and 16-days interval). Predicted data were used to identify the optimal seeding density and irrigation water level. AquaCrop's simulations of grain yield, biomass, soil water content, evapotranspiration, and canopy cover were promising. Under extreme water stress, the model produced less reliable results. The RSM method determined the optimal seeding density and irrigation schedule to maximize crop yield and income per hectare. Results showed that 747, 198, and 747 mm of irrigation water and 211, 188, and 208 kg ha-1 of seeding density maximized wheat yield, water productivity, and profit per unit area, respectively. Additionally, 350 and 1230 mm of irrigation and rainfall and 162 and 212 kg ha-1 of seeding density were found to maximize water productivity and profit per unit area. Overall, this study demonstrates that the AquaCrop model can be used to accurately estimate wheat grain yield under different irrigation intensities and seeding densities, which can inform decisions on optimal irrigation and seeding practices for maximizing crop yield and profit.

“…The impacts of climate change on Phakal Lake located in KRB, India, analysed with SWAT model results to a decrease of up to 57% in tank inflows in the future (Jayanthi and Keesara, 2021). Therefore, the water harvesting structures can absorb the rainfall variability and improve the of agricultural productivity under future climate projections (Vema et al 2022).…”

The availability of water at the regional and river basin scales in the future will be significantly impacted by climate change. Effective water management in the sub-basin is essential for ensuring long-term sustainability in the face of changing climatic conditions. The Maner River basin is a significant contributor to the Godavari River, and agriculture serves as the primary source of income for the majority of individuals residing in the subbasin. Nearly 50-65% of irrigational fields in the Maner basin are cultivated using local Tank Cascade Systems (TCS) and reservoirs that are managed by monsoon precipitation. The regional level climate change impact on the water resources of these tank cascade systems is important for sustainable management of water resources. In this study, The NEX-GDDP RCM models of CCSM4, MPI-ESM-LR and MIROC-ESM-CHEM were utilized to examine climate patterns during historical and future periods under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. The Maner sub-basin and KTCS (Katakshapur Tank Cascade System) were modeled using the SWAT hydrological model to simulate runoff and water availability. The average monsoon (July-October) streamflow increase in the Maner basin during the near, mid, and far futures is projected to be 47%, 66%, and 114% under the RCP 4.5 scenario, and 53%, 72%, and 69% under the RCP 8.5 scenario, respectively. Excess flow may overflow from Ramchandrapur, Mallampalli, and Dharmaraopalli tanks to the downstream Katakshapur tank since it can accommodate the up to 18.91 Mm3. To enhance water management in response to climate change, one potential adaptation strategy is to utilize the surplus inflow to refill downstream artificial ponds, which can aid in the replenishment of groundwater and the provision of water supply to tail end tanks.
