In deficit irrigation, water supply is less than the crop’s full requirements, and mild stress is allowed during growth stages that are less sensitive to moisture deficiency. The expectation is that any yield reduction will be limited, and additional benefits are gained by diverting the saved water to irrigate other crops. (FAO. 2011. Water management: technologies that save and grow Factsheet 4 Sustainable Crop Production Intensification (SCPI). https://openknowledge.fao.org/handle/20.500.14283/bc415e)

Because of its higher surface-flow velocities, rill erosion has a greater capacity than sheet erosion to remove and transport soil. (FAO watershed management field manual, FAO, 1986)
