Comment on “Improved Water Savings and Reduction in Moist Heat Stress Caused by Efficient Irrigation” by Anukesh Krishnankutty Ambika and Vimal Mishra

A recent study by Ambika and Mishra (2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021EF002642) asserted using simulated evidence that a shift towards drip irrigation from channel in the Indo-Gangetic Plains will result alleviation of moist heat stress water savings. The assumptions, parameterizations, approach adopted this do not adequately represent fundamentals science, management, engineering, as well realities local agricultural management Plains. This comment attempts to highlight these inadequacies paper related literature, focusing on four major aspects process, land-use, timing stress, accounting. These weaknesses processes modeling overlooking indispensable should be accounted for comprehensively assess impacts method choice regional weather resources.
