A conceptual theoretical framework to integrally assess the possible impacts of climate change on domestic irrigation water use

Southern Africa is likely to experience higher evapotranspiration and altered rainfall characteristics due to global warming and climate change. Climate-driven water use may potentially stress water supply facilities due to increased demand and reduced surface water yield. This paper presents a conc...
