Research gap analysis derived from 7 agriculture papers in our local library.
The gap
While there are several plot-level studies with respect to water consumption, very limited research is being carried out at basin-wide and irrigation system level.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and limitations section and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1979 and 2026, spanning 6 journals. Those papers have been cited 25 times in total.
