Water resilience in agriculture in the face of climate change

Question 1:  

Faced with the climate challenge, how can irrigation and drainage contribute to the agro-ecological transition? How can they be made compatible?  

Question 2:

Sobriety in agricultural water use: Technology must facilitate changes in practices.  Warning, control, remote sensing, irrigation equipment... Where do we stand?

Question 3:

Non-conventional water (REUSE, desalination): can we really loosen the grip on the resource and for what uses?
