Global warming water scarcity and food security in the Mediterranean environment

De Wrachien D., Ragab R., Hamdy A., Trisorio-Liuzzi G.

This report gives an overview of current and future (time horizon 2050) irrigation development in the Mediterranean environment. Moreover, the paper analyses the results of the most recent and advanced General Circulation Models for assessing the hydrological impacts of climate change on crop water requirements, water availability and the planning and design process of irrigation systems. Finally, a five-step planning and design procedure is proposed that is able to integrate, within the development process, the hydrological consequences of climate change.
