Fig. 6 Equations to calculate the WF of a garden: precipitation, infiltration and water demand
estimated through meteorological data of the place where the crop is implanted. The
method used to obtain these reference values (ETo) has been the Penman–Monteith
Method, considered the most scientifically valued [76], as it allows for unrestricted
use in any type of climate. According to the CROPWAT program developed by the
FAO [14], which calculates the irrigation requirements of crops based on climate,
