Rising agricultural water scarcity in China is driven by expansion of irrigated cropland in water scarce regions

Elsevier, One Earth, Volume 5, 21 October 2022

Increasing agricultural water scarcity is threatening food security and ecosystem sustainability in China. Previous studies showed a deceleration in the growth of irrigation water use in China due to reducing water use intensities of irrigation. However, a finer-scale analysis at the prefecture level is urgently needed to account for the impacts of land management policies and the impact of international food trade in water stress mitigation.
