Extended Data Fig. 6: Contribution of meltwater and groundwater to irrigation for key crop types in the Ganges river basin.

From: South Asian agriculture increasingly dependent on meltwater and groundwater

Extended Data Fig. 6

Panels a-c show the 30 year daily mean contribution of meltwater to irrigation during the reference period (1981–2010) and end of century period (2071–2010) for each ensemble member in the RCP4.5-SSP1 and RCP8.5-SSP3 ensembles, for rice (a), wheat (b), and sugarcane (c). Panels d-f show the same for the groundwater contribution to irrigation for rice (d), wheat (e), and sugarcane (f).
