  abstract = {{C}ontrolled and efficient agricultural irrigation management is required to avoid negative effects of the increasing world water scarcity and therefore to assure a sustainable production. {W}ithin this context, the project '{P}articipatory multi-{L}evel {EO}-assisted tools for {I}rrigation water management and {A}gricultural {D}ecision-{S}upport' ({PLEIAD}e{S}: http://www.pleiades.es) addressed the efficient and sustainable use of water for food production in water-scarce environments. {T}he project aimed at improving the performance of irrigation schemes by means of a range of measures, made possible through wide space-time coverage of {E}arth {O}bservation ({E}.{O}.) data and interactive networking capabilities of {I}nformation and {C}ommunication {T}echnologies ({ICT}). {P}roject partners, represented by a set of pilot case-studies, included a broad range of conditions characteristic for the {E}uropean, {S}outhern {M}editerranean and {A}merican regions. {A}lgorithms for a number of basic products for the estimation of {I}rrigation {W}ater {R}equirements ({IWR}) have been defined in an operational framework. {I}n this study a review of application of these algorithms, applied and validated within different case-studies during the project, is presented.},
