Summary: The UK irrigated agriculture sector is considered to be at high risk due to its lowest priority for water allocation during drought events and the resulting impacts of abstraction restrictions. An enhanced version of the D-Risk webtool has been developed to assess the joint multi-scale risks of abstraction restrictions and insufficient irrigation volumes during drought events. This tool provides a holistic understanding of drought risk in irrigated agriculture and supports collaborative decision-making for water management.

Summary: The study finds that traditional water programming models underestimate the water-saving effects of pricing due to the exclusion of deficit irrigation as a decision variable. By incorporating deficit irrigation into the model, the water demand curve becomes significantly more elastic, leading to a more accurate assessment of the cost-effectiveness of water pricing for water saving.

Summary: We investigate the contribution of anthropogenic forcing to extreme temperature and precipitation events in Central Asia. Our analysis shows a higher risk of extreme heat events and precipitation events in the region, particularly in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Summary: This passage indicates that an extreme cloudburst on 4 July 2021 caused damage to Edinburgh Castle, and based on the results from a convective permitting model, the observed warming increased the risk by approximately 30% compared to preindustrial levels, which further increases to about 70% in a +2°C world.

Summary: Both blue water and green water contribute to agricultural water scarcity, which is influenced by precipitation variations under climate change. This study quantifies the effects of precipitation variations on agricultural water scarcity index (AWSI) in China, showing that extreme precipitation anomalies can lead to significant changes in AWSI. Future climate change will intensify AWSI and amplify the effects of precipitation variations, particularly in Inner Mongolia with changes over 200%. Southwestern China may also experience expanding agricultural water scarcity. Improving irrigation efficiency has the potential to alleviate water scarcity by up to 30%.

Summary: The research reveals that extreme weather events have a negative impact on water quality, which persists for both the current year and the next 10 years. Floods have a greater influence on water quality than droughts, particularly in non-high-income countries and countries with low technology innovation related to water resources.

Summary: In a context of severe water scarcity and high uncertainty of available irrigation water, the study aimed to determine the mid-term effect of water restrictions on yield and quality of flat peaches. Two treatments were tested: control (CTL) and regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). The RDI treatment resulted in water savings of 33.6% and an increase in irrigation water productivity of 45%.

Summary: Climate change has significant impacts on irrigated agriculture and global food security. A study conducted in southern New Jersey evaluated the effects of climate change on irrigation demand, green water scarcity, and crop yields. The results showed that increased temperature and precipitation led to increased surface runoff and total streamflow. The study also found that corn yield, irrigation demand, and ET varied in response to climate change, while soybean exhibited a declining trend in ET and irrigation demand with increasing yield.

Summary: This study monitored nitrate and suspended sediment loss during an extreme wet-weather period in the UK. The results showed increased pollutant loss, particularly in grassland areas. The study also found a relationship between rainfall extremes and sediment loss, suggesting potential impacts under future climate scenarios.

Summary: Research evaluated the impact of different irrigation treatments on grape yield, berry composition, water-sensitive symbiosis, and water-saving effect. It is suggested to maintain an appropriate level of irrigation in the future warm scenarios to minimize environmental impact.

Summary: The modernization efforts of the irrigation subsector in Kenya have faced multiple challenges, including technical, socio-economic, and institutional issues. While some irrigation schemes have been developed, issues like water scarcity and poor water quality remain. Challenges in terms of cost, credit availability, and market access also hinder irrigation development. However, the future looks promising with the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies such as solar-powered irrigation systems and rainwater harvesting.

Summary: This study develops a salinity-inclusive water scarcity framework for the irrigation sector, and applies it to the Central Valley in California and the Murray-Darling basin in Australia. The results show severe water scarcity in both regions, especially during the summer seasons. The study also explores the potential of alleviating water scarcity through conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater, but highlights the risks of groundwater depletion in certain sub-basins.

Summary: Five of the largest wildfires in California occurred in 2020, with the largest complex surpassing the previous record by over 100%. Previous studies focused on human activities and atmospheric thermodynamics, but the impact of changing atmospheric dynamics remains largely unknown. This study identifies different weather types associated with historically large burned areas in California and suggests that climate change is likely to reduce the frequency of certain extreme weather events while increasing the risk of catastrophic fires in the future.

Summary: Climate change and increasing water demand are intensifying the global water cycle, altering the distribution of water and potentially leading to conflicts. Empirical evidence shows a link between local conflict likelihood and water mass declines, with droughts and an intensifying water cycle more than tripling the chances of conflict. Access to groundwater and surface water can help mitigate these effects.

Summary: Investigations into the role of anthropogenic climate change in extreme weather events need to carefully consider methodological choices to avoid misinterpretation. The anthropogenic signal behind weather events may differ from the signal behind the impact system, and it is important to assess impacts in addition to meteorological events due to lags and nonlinearities.
