“…An appropriate flood irrigation management for camelina is quite necessary in water limited arid and semiarid conditions [18]. Previous studies on camelina irrigation needs under different agro climatic conditions demonstrated an increase in seed yield with higher water volumes and this information is somewhat limited [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Camelina sativa L. is an oilseed crop with wide nutritional and industrial applications. Because of favorable agronomic characteristics of C. sativa in a water-limiting environment interest in its production has increased worldwide. In this study the effect of different irrigation regimes (I0 = three irrigations, I1 = two irrigations, I2 = one irrigation and I3 = one irrigation) on physio-biochemical responses and seed yield attributes of two C. sativa genotypes was explored under semi-arid conditions. Results indicated that maximum physio-biochemical activity, seed yield and oil contents appeared in genotype 7126 with three irrigations (I0). In contrast water deficit stress created by withholding irrigation (I1, I2 and I3) at different growth stages significantly reduced the physio-biochemical activity as well as yield responses in both C. sativa genotypes. Nonetheless the highest reduction in physio-biochemical and yield attributes were observed in genotype 8046 when irrigation was skipped at vegetative and flowering stages of crop (I3). In genotypic comparison, C. sativa genotype 7126 performed better than 8046 under all I1, I2 and I3 irrigation treatments. Because 7126 exhibited better maintenance of tissue water content, leaf gas exchange traits and chlorophyll pigment production, resulting in better seed yield and oil production. Findings of this study suggest that to achieve maximum yield potential in camelina three irrigations are needed under semi-arid conditions, however application of two irrigations one at flowering and second at silique development stage can ensure an economic seed yield and oil contents. Furthermore, genotype 7126 should be adopted for cultivation under water limited arid and semi-arid regions due to its better adaptability.

“…La combinación de unos condicionantes bio-físicos que por una parte habían sido modificados y, por otra, aprovechados, generaron un marco agrario propicio para el desarrollo de un cultivo de gran influencia en la vida agrícola comarcal durante un dilatado espacio de tiempo. La rápida desaparición del cultivo arrocero y el cambio de uso del suelo se contextualiza dentro del proceso de aceleración global que, tanto en el marco regional como estatal, venía produciéndose a finales de la década de los años sesenta del siglo XX y que es acorde con el análisis global de los espacios irrigados que presentan Bjornlund y Bjornlund (2019).…”

Hasta los años 70 del siglo XX, existieron espacios al Norte de la ciudad de Valencia con importantes zonas dedicadas al cultivo del arroz con una gestión de los recursos hídricos diferenciada claramente de las zonas de huerta, funcionando como territorios hidrosociales. El proceso de reubicación de las industrias de Valencia, la apertura de los nuevos accesos a la ciudad y el auge de la segunda residencia en la costa, contribuyeron a una rápida desaparición del arrozal.

“…Water is a unique agricultural input that connects, is affected by (quantitatively and qualitatively) and affects all agricultural subsystems (Zhu et al, 2019). Its use and management are often influenced by a mix of highly complex economic, engineering, social, hydrologic, environmental, and even political factors (Zomorodian et al, 2018;Bjornlund and Bjornlund, 2019). These influences are expected to become more challenging to cope with in light of the anticipated increase in agricultural water demand due to climate change impacts and global population growth.…”

“…Several efficiency-based techniques and approaches aligned with the knowledge management function and the sociotechnical dimension of hydroinformatics have been proposed and applied to address the problem of agricultural water resources sustainability. These include: the IWRM concept (GWP, 2000;Furlong et al, 2015); the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources (Singh, 2014); novel irrigation management systems (Sandler et al, 2004;Evans and Sadler, 2008;Gumiere et al, 2014;Pelletier et al, 2015;Vanderleest et al, 2016;Caron et al, 2017;Bjornlund and Bjornlund, 2019); and minimization of food waste and losses (Kummu et al, 2012;Pretty et al, 2018;Bjornlund and Bjornlund, 2019;among others). An efficiency-promoting paradigm with a focus on water management includes Precision Irrigation (PI; Perea et al, 2018) for crops and aquaculture, and Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) for dairy, egg, and meat production (Fournel et al, 2017).…”

It is increasingly recognized that water scarcity, rather than a lack of arable land, will be the major constraint to increase agricultural production over the next few decades. Therefore, water represents a unique agricultural asset to drive agricultural sustainability. However, its planning, management and usage are often influenced by a mix of interdependent economic, engineering, social, hydrologic, environmental, and even political factors. Such a complex interdependency suggests that a sociotechnical approach to water resources management, a subject of the field of Hydroinformatics, represents a viable path forward to achieve sustainable agriculture. Thus, this paper presents an overview of the intersection between hydroinformatics and agriculture to introduce a new research field called agricultural hydroinformatics. In addition, it proposes a general conceptual framework taking into account the distinctive features associated with the sociotechnical dimension of hydroinformatics when applied in agriculture. The framework is designed to serve as a stepping-stone to achieve, not only integrated water resources management, but also agricultural sustainability transitions in general. Using examples from agricultural water development to horticultural and livestock farming, the paper highlights facets of the framework applicability as a new paradigm on data flows/sources consideration, and information and simulation models engineering as well as integration for a holistic approach to water resources management in agriculture. Finally, it discusses opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of agricultural hydroinformatics and the development of new research areas needed to achieve the full potential of this emerging framework. These areas include, for example, sensor deployment and development, signal processing, information modeling and storage, artificial intelligence, and new kind of simulation model development approaches.
