Acknowledgements This research was jointly funded by
the German Service of Academic Exchange (DAAD) and
the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. The coordination with the General Direction of Irrigation (DGI) and the
Statistics Bureau of the province (DEIE) allowed detailed
planning for fieldwork execution between November
2016 and January 2017. The Ente Provincial Regulador
Electrico (EPRE) contributed with the subsidized energy
data for estimating groundwater volumes used for agricultural irrigation. The authors also thank Dr. Tinoush
Jamali Jaghdani for the constructive review in the early
stages of this research. This manuscript has improved
considerably thanks to the insights of the two anonymous
reviewers.
