Paper Summary

Researchers used a model to study water dynamics in farmland in the Taihang Mountains. They tested different irrigation schedules and quotas to find the best way to water crops. The optimal schedule they found was 5 times for winter wheat and 1 time for summer maize in a typical year. This information can help farmers in the region use water more efficiently.
