Abstract
Water is a fundamental resource to ensure agricultural productivity. Access to hydrological resources to supplement rainfall during the growing season is seen as one of the key issues for food security. For this reason, the development of agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid regions has been closely linked to the scientific and technological advances in irrigation engineering.
