In the agriculture sector, improved efficiency of irrigation practices can be achieved by changing surface water irrigation for other techniques and shifting to more sustainable practices . Overall, the region could save 35% of water resources by improved irrigation techniques . However, maladaptive drip irrigation subsidies and developments can also result in the unsustainable use of groundwater resources and excessive agriculture intensification, indicating the need for careful strategic planning, regulation and monitoring of these options . In the livestock sector, adaptation options for heat wave-induced mortality of animals include the choice of more resistant genetic provenances .
