Abstract

Water is a limited resource, hence everything about its commercialization and use have high interest. One of the sectors that greater use does is the agriculture, arriving to allocate 70%. Thus, it results of big interest to know the use that is doing in this sector, crops with irrigations and possibilities of growth. A suitable management of this resource is vital, existing for this normative specific, more advanced in the developed countries. But these are precisely those that less potential of growth have, being of greater interest the countries in road of development, where the increase of the extraction of this well for irrigation presents greater values in a temporary horizon from now to the year 2030. Thus, in the present work has been selected a total of 12 countries with potential of growth in the use of the water in the agriculture (Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Mexico, Peru, Tunisia, Romania, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mauritania, India and Green Cape), of which has done an analysis of the current state of the agriculture and use of the water, for finally to argue about the global way the state of the water in the agriculture and expectations of growth. By 2030, figures for an increase of 14% in the extraction of water for irrigation are expected; which it will mean an 8% use of renewable water resources. In addition, the Latin American region has the largest renewable resources and the least expected extraction, in contrast to North Africa and the Near East, where resources are scarcer and extraction will approach 50%.
