Satellites unveil the far-reaching impact of irrigation

Irrigation has a wide impact on our planet, with over 70% of freshwater globally used for crop cultivation. While essential for food production, irrigation has impact at local level: it can deplete water reserves, leading to local subsidence, saltwater intrusion, and potential biodiversity alterations. Recently, an international team of scientists, supported by ESA’s Science for …
