The gap between irrigation needs and available resources

Research gap analysis derived from 3 agriculture papers in our local library.

The gap

The gap between irrigation needs and available resources is widening due to climate change. There is a need to assess the impact of climate change on irrigation demand and development potential.

Evidence profile

Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, spanning 3 journals.

Irrigation effects on downwind precipitation in different synoptic conditions: a study in the U.S. Central Great Plains (2026) · npj Climate and Atmospheric Science · doi
The influence of irrigation on precipitation remains highly dependent on synoptic influence. Prior studies have not accounted for the effects of large-scale anthropogenic irrigation on downwind hydroclimate. The study addresses the gap in understanding how irrigation affects precipitation and its thermodynamic and dynamical controls in downwind areas.

Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of irrigation on downwind precipitation in different regions and climates. The study's findings can be used to inform water resource management and agricultural practices, and to improve weather forecasting and climate modeling. Additional research is needed to quantify the impact of irrigation on atmospheric instability and thermodynamic resistance to deep parcel ascent.
