Suggestions relevant to applying different tools to specific use cases - can make separate pages for each and link them to a list here if there is sufficient material

- IAP & afforestation

- Riparian zones

- Wetlands

- Irrigation

This section provides a summary of how the various tools represent irrigation from deffrent sources. A detailed case study description of irrigation representation is found here.

Irrigation from groundwater

● Pitman tools & ACRU: Do not include irrigation from groundwater. ACRU does not include any groundwater withdrawal. Work-arounds in the Pitman tools do not allow for dynamic curtailment of irrigation when groundwater supplies are low.

Irrigation from reservoirs

● MIKE-SHE appears not to include irrigation from storage reservoirs, only runoff river and groundwater

Irrigation from multiple sources

● Pitman tools, ACRU, & SWAT only allow an irrigated area to be irrigated from one source, while MIKE-SHE allows multiple sources to be drawn upon in sequence to meet demands.

- Small farm dams

- Groundwater pumping
