Abstract

Climate change presents significant challenges to the demand and availability of irrigation water, resulting in profound consequences for the long-term viability of development that can be sustained. This study utilized a thorough bibliometric analysis to examine the patterns, development, and possible future research paths in this crucial field. The investigation, conducted using 2,211 documents from the Scopus database, demonstrated a steady and rising trajectory in publications. This pattern indicates the growing importance of this subject matter and its worldwide focus. The results emphasized the various topics and subjects investigated, such as climate modeling, water resource management, agricultural practices, and policy consequences. The study identified significant works, industrious nations, institutions, authors, and patterns of collaboration and occurrence. Thematic evolution maps and factorial analyses have identified new research areas, including incorporating advanced technologies like remote sensing, machine learning, and the Internet of Things. Additionally, there is a focus on developing adaptation techniques to improve resilience. Proposed future research areas highlight the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, integrated modeling frameworks, and holistic approaches to effectively tackle the complex difficulties arising from climate change’s impact on water demand and availability.
