Water is the lifeblood of agriculture, a sector that sustains global food security and livelihoods. However, the increasing complexity of water management in agriculture, exacerbated by global climate change, poses significant challenges to the sustainability of this vital resource. Specifically, climate change has intensified the risks associated with agricultural water management, particularly in regions already grappling with water scarcity [1]. While certain aspects of climate change, such as increased precipitation and elevated CO2 concentrations, may offer localized benefits, the overarching impacts—reduced water availability, more frequent extreme weather events, and shifting precipitation patterns—threaten agricultural productivity and water security. Moreover, as the global population continues to grow, the demand for food and water is increasing, placing additional pressure on already strained water resources [2]. In addition, climate change exacerbates these pressures by altering precipitation patterns, increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and raising temperatures, all of which impact agricultural water use [3]. Consequently, in regions where water scarcity is already a concern, these changes pose significant economic and social challenges. Despite some localized benefits, the overall impact of climate change on agricultural water management is overwhelmingly negative, necessitating the development of robust adaptation strategies [4]. In this context, developing adaptation strategies through sustainable water management and regulation is not just a necessity but an imperative. Therefore, this Special Issue seeks to advance our understanding of the risks and adaptation strategies in agricultural water management, with the goal of enhancing the efficient use of limited water resources and ensuring food security in a changing climate. To achieve this, this Special Issue aims to address these challenges by exploring historical and future trends in crop evapotranspiration and irrigation requirements, evaluating the effectiveness of various agronomic and policy measures, and proposing sustainable pathways for adapting to future climate change. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance our understanding of the risks and opportunities associated with agricultural water management under climate change and to provide policymakers with the knowledge needed to formulate effective strategies for reducing the vulnerability of the agricultural sector and increasing its resilience. As a result, we can better prepare for the impacts of climate change and ensure the continued availability of water resources for agricultural production, thereby safeguarding global food security and livelihoods.
