An often suggested approach to increase agricultural water production and reduce water scarcity is to optimise irrigation timing. The benefits of adaptive irrigation scheduling in comparison to fixed heuristics frequently employed by farmers are currently unknown, as is the best way to optimise and adjust irrigation decisions under weather and climatic unpredictability. A fixed irrigation plans that maximises average revenues across a variety of possible weather events but is not altered year to year has an advantage over in-season irrigation strategy modification.
