Description of the measure

Postpone the irrigation water consumed in summer to other less critical periods

Comments on sustainability

Summer water consumption is exposed to a risk of non-availability. Postponing irrigation water supplies earlier in the season (May / June) can ensure the yield of winter crops to stabilize their yield at a period of the year with no water missing issues.
