Abstract:
Climate change is strongly affecting agriculture worldwide. In Mediterranean zone one of the most challenging issue is related to water deficit as a consequence of climate change. In particular, in Mediterranean Countries, we are facing a higher number of extreme rain events during winter and, on the other hand, a much more lasting and stronger drought during summer. A possible solution to increase the ability of agriculture sector to face such problems relies in being able to collect excess water during winter in order to use it for irrigation during drought period. The present study aims to compare an innovative prototype of flexible water tank able to store rain water with the traditional artificial basin storage solutions, in order to use this for irrigation during summer period.
