Abstract: In order to reduce irrigation water withdrawal, the European Commission provides grants to farmers for investments in irrigation techniques that save water. However, little is known about the real extent of water savings at plot scale resulting from change in irrigation application equipment or the adoption of scheduling devices in a given agro-pedo-climatic context.
