Present and future challenges for hydraulic reliability and energy efficiency in collective irrigation systems: A participatory modelling approach by Maria do Rosário Cameira, Antónia Ferreira, Luis Boteta, Pedro Santos Fortes, Maria João Calejo

“…The current scenario, in which only 48 % of the command area is irrigated, is characterized by good hydraulic performance, although pressure surpluses were detected in most outlets. Co-designed scenarios anticipate an increase in the irrigated area and a shift towards more water-intensive crops, which could result in up to a 163 % in the peak demand flow compared to the current situation. …”
