Title A name given to the resource Irrigation Water Management in Latin America Manejo del Agua de Riego en Sudamérica Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Aureo S de Oliveira, Ricardo Trezza, Eduardo Holzapfel, Ignacio Lorite, Vital Pedro S Paz Description An account of the resource Latin American countries show a great potential for expanding their irrigated areas. Irrigation is important for strengthening local and regional economy and for enhancing food security. The present paper aimed at providing a brief review on key aspects of irrigation management in Latin America. Poor irrigation management can have great impact on crop production and on environment while good management reduces the waste of soil and water and help farmers maximizing their profits. It was found that additional research is needed to allow a better understanding of crop water requirements under Latin American conditions as well as to provide farmers with local derived information for irrigation scheduling. The advantages of deficit irrigation practices and the present and future opportunities with the application of remote sensing tools for water management were also considered. It is clear that due to the importance of irrigated agriculture, collaborative work among Latin American researchers and institutions is of paramount importance to face the challenges imposed by a growing population, environment degradation, and competition in the global market.Los países sudamericanos tienen un gran potencial para aumentar sus áreas regadas. El riego es importante para fortalecer las economías locales y regionales y para mejorar la seguridad alimentaria. Esta revisión tiene por objeto proporcionar un resumen de los aspectos más importantes del manejo del riego en Sudamérica. Un manejo pobre del riego puede tener un alto impacto en la producción de cultivos y en el ambiente, en tanto que un buen manejo reduce las pérdidas de suelo y agua, y ayuda a los productores a maximizar sus ingresos. Se encontró que se requiere investigación adicional que permita una mejor comprensión de los requerimientos de agua de los cultivos en las condiciones sudamericanas, y también para proporcionar a los agricultores información local que permita hacer programación de riego. También se consideraron las ventajas del riego deficitario y las oportunidades presentes y futuras de la aplicación de los sensores remotos para el manejo del agua. Está claro que dada la importancia de la agricultura de riego se requiere realizar trabajos colaborativos entre investigadores e instituciones de Sudamérica, para enfrentar los desafíos que imponen el crecimiento de la población, la degradación del ambiente y la competencia en los mercados globales.
