WATERING_CROPGROWTH_RBB is a sub-model of the WATER user associations at the Interface of Nexus Governance (WATERING) model (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-nqs9ak2nY). WATERING allows exploring the impact of community-based water governance on water availability, water use and economic productivity within an irrigation scheme.
Citation: If you adapt/use our WATERING_CROPGROWTH_RBB model, we would appreciate if you cite our GitHub repo. The crop growth model in WATERING_CROPGROWTH_RBB.nlogo draws on guidance in the FAO Irrigation Water Management: Irrigation Water Needs manual https://www.fao.org/3/s2022e/s2022e00.htm.
