Water is the key to socio-economic development and quality of life. The rapid
population growth rate has consequently led to the rapid increase in the demand for this
vital resource. Water availability for agriculture – the major water user worldwide – is one
of the most critical factors for food security in many regions of the world. Irrigated
agriculture, which accounts for almost 72 per cent and 90 per cent of water withdrawals
in global and developing countries, has been an important contributor in expanding
national and world food supplies.
