Abstract
Over the past decades, climate change has impacted various facets of life, notably through increasing temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and the escalation of extreme weather events. These impacts have critical implications for global and local water resources. Considering that the largest portion of water use in the world is for the agricultural sector, it can be concluded that agriculture is deeply interconnected with water and climate. Against the backdrop of climate change, together with the growing human needs that lead to increasing pressure on Earth’s resources, the significance of agriculture in sustaining food security increases, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of water consumption patterns within the agricultural sector.
