The number of times the same area is cropped in one year (referring to area equipped for full/partial control irrigation). If available, the area effectively irrigated is used for the calculation of cropping intensity. If not available, the equipped area is used. The calculation only refers to irrigated crops. This means that in a country with one or two wet seasons only the crops grown under irrigation are taken into consideration. The crops grown on the full/partial control equipped area during the wet season without irrigation (but using the residual soil humidity) are not included in the irrigated crop area when calculating cropping intensity.
