Factors affecting water consumption
ETa / rainfall
Crop water stress (ETa/ETp)
Higher ET at downstream areas and South African commercial irrigated areas
Higher ET in Indian Punjab and Haryana and downstream areas

As opposed to the Limpopo basin, the IGB with extensive irrigation clearly showed the areas where ET exceeds precipitation and where not.

Improving water management to improve agricultural water productivity
IGB: targeting at bright spots? Is there enough water? Sustainability?
Limpopo: how to improve yields? Regulate water consumption at the right timing?
