dc.description.abstract	The study confirmed that water use for agricultural irrigation is increasing, both in area irrigated and depths applied, and is increasingly concentrated on the more valuable crops. Underlying volumetric growth was 3% per annum from 1982 to 1995. On-farm reservoir capacity doubled from 1990 to 1995, but 90% of the water still came from summer abstraction in 1995, mostly from rivers and streams.	en_UK
