AB  - Irrigation water demand (IWD) is increasing worldwide, including in regions such 
      as Germany that are characterized with low precipitation levels, yet grow 
      water-demanding crops such as sugar beets, potatoes, and vegetables. This study 
      aimed to calculate and analyze the spatial and temporal changes in the IWD of 
      four crops-spring barley, oat, winter wheat, and potato-between 1902 and 2010 in 
      Germany by using the modeling software AgroHyd Farmmodel. Climatic conditions in 
      Germany continued to change over the investigation period, with an increase in 
      temperature of 0.01K/yr and an increase in precipitation of 1mm/yr. Nevertheless, 
      no significant increasing or decreasing trend in IWD was noted in the analysis. 
      The IWD for the investigated crops in the area of the current "Federal Republic 
      of Germany" over the 109years was 112mm/yr, varying between 100 and 127mm/yr. 
      Changes in cropping pattern and cultivated area over the last century caused 
      large differences in the IWD calculated for each administrative district. The 
      mean annual IWD of over the study period (which was divided into 4 parts) varied 
      between 13,455Mm(3)/yr in the earliest period (1902-1919) and 4717Mm(3)/yr in the 
      latest period (1990-2010). Policy and management measures to adapt to climate 
      change are currently being debated in Germany. The presented results suggest that 
      the effects of the choice of crops (in this case, changes in cropping pattern in 
      the German nation states) had a stronger influence on regional water resources 
      than those of climate variability. Thus, the influence of climate change on water 
      resources is relativized which brings an important input into the debate.
