Abstract
Irrigation context diversity leads to water supply management modalities due to very different concepts, mainly dependent on constraints. For great margin crops, main object is to guarantee economic performance often linked to product quality ; in this case we note development of automatic water management tools based on soil or plant hydric status. For large scale growing, irrigation cost is very important compared to other costs ; so water supply management depends on equipment and hydraulic constraints.
