Mitigating climate change impacts on irrigation water shortage using brackish groundwater and solar energy

Increase temperature globally would increase irrigation water requirements. Therefore, brackish groundwater can be used as non-conventional water resources in potential solar areas to supplement irrigation water shortage. Consequently, humidification dehumidification greenhouse agriculture used sola...
