Lca-based environmental performance of olive cultivation in northwestern greece: from rainfed to irrigated through conventional and smart crop management practices
(2021)Olive cultivation is expanding rapidly in the northwestern part of Greece, under both rainfed and irrigated practices. Irrigation can result in larger yields and economic returns, but trade-offs in the water–energy–pollution ... -
A methodological framework for an easy and reliable estimation of the full cost of irrigation water
(2020)The requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60 for the full water cost recovery have brought reactions and difficulties to their implementation, especially for irrigation water. We propose a systematic and ... -
Monitoring cotton crop evapotranspiration based on satellite data
(2011)The water demand to meet seasonal and long-term water needs in Thessaly, central Greece, is related to historical semi-Arid conditions in the region, which is the main agricultural area of the country. In this paper ... -
A multicriteria analysis application for evaluating the possibility of reusing wastewater for irrigation purposes in a Greek region
(2012)The objective of the present study was the evaluation of the possibility that the use of reclaimed municipal wastewater for irrigation purposes in a Greek region is sustainable. The irrigation uses that were examined ... -
