• Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (2013, background): “Much larger quantities of water are required for many other purposes, most importantly irrigated agriculture, but also for industrial use, in particular for hydropower and the cooling of thermoelectric power plants (2, 3).”
• Benchmarking water-use efficiency of rainfed wheat in dry environments (2006, background): “Large amounts of water loss through soil evaporation are a common feature of dry environments worldwide (Wallace 2000), and possibly the most recalcitrant source of inefficient water use in dryland cropping systems.”
• Agriculture and resource availability in a changing world: The role of irrigation (2010, background): “At the same time, average per capita income is expected to rise [Wallace, 2000].”
• Influence of spatial arrangement in maize-soybean intercropping on root growth and water use efficiency (2017, background): “Mutual shading under intercrops by micro-climatic regulation and reductions in soil evaporation improved transpiration (Wallace 2000).”
• Linking climate change research with food security and poverty reduction in the tropics (2000, background): “Water (Wallace, 2000) Less rainfall is predicted for much of Africa.”
• Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “…the major problems in water supply are in regions with low rainfall, yet high evaporative demand, and those with expanding populations, such as North Africa, Southern Africa and the Near East, where water availability is less than 2000 m3 per person per year (Wallace 2000; FAO 2003a; Gregory 2004).”
• Algal Proteins: Extraction, Application, and Challenges Concerning Production (2017, neutral): “Terrestrial agriculture already requires approximately 75% of the total global freshwater with animal protein in particular requiring 100 times more water than if the equivalent amount of protein was produced from plant sources [6,7].”
• Response of giant reed (Arundo donax L.) to nitrogen fertilization and soil water availability in semi-arid Mediterranean environment. (2014, background): “Despite the huge amount of water used for irrigation, only 13–30% of all water resources are used for transpiration by crops, reducing to 5% in arid and semi-arid environments in rainfed crops (Wallace, 2000).”
• Economic Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture: The Importance of Additional Climatic Variables Other than Temperature and Precipitation (2017, background): “Evaporation also causes considerable water loss prior to the water transport to the fields where the crops are grown (Batchelor and Roberts, 1983; Wallace, 2000).”
