If you look at my post carefully, you will note that I am not necessarily agreeing with the climatic analysis in the article. I am inclined to be dubious about the quantitative effects cited, as most such “studies” are agenda-driven. However, I am pointing out that there is sufficient water being applied to use evapotranspiration from the irrigated vegetation to advantage as a management principle.
Same here. Meant no disagreement with your posts.
