Short summary
Balancing water allocations between upstream irrigated agriculture and downstream users and environments is a major challenge in China's Yellow River. Increasing temperatures in the Hetao Irrigation District indicate that solar radiation has decreased over the past 50 years but surprisingly actual evaporation has not changed. Expansion of the length of the irrigation growing season due to increasing temperatures could lead to higher demands for irrigation.
