Reduce surface water abstraction without return
Reduce surface water abstraction without return01. Water flow quantity improvement
General description
Reducing surface water abstraction without return refers mainly to reductions in water abstraction for agriculture and domestic consumption. We have to distinguish between agriculture without water returns (that uses the water with the maximum efficiency, according to the water needs of the crop) and agriculture with water returns, due to a generous use of water, higher than the real water needs of the crop, or inappropriate irrigation techniques.
Applicability
Expected effect of measure on (including literature citations):
- HYMO (general and specified per HYMO element)
- physico � chemical parameters
- Biota (general and specified per Biological quality elements)
