estimation of irrigation water requirement of residential kitchen gardens (RGs) located in the urban area of the city of Rome (Italy) in order to understand the amount of water required.
a sustainability scenario is defined under the hypothesis that each cultivated parcel has a nearby roof collecting rainwater to be exploited during the irrigation season (April-September).
The computation is based on a spatial dataset created in 2014 by the Italian Institute of Agricultural Economics (INEA) containing all the cultivated RGs located inside the urban area of Rome.
