Assessing the effectiveness of agro-silvo-pastoral rehabilitation for enhanced water productivity and resilience in the Jordan Valley
This poster shed light on the difficulties faced by local communities in the Jordan Valley due to limited water availability, land degradation, and climate change with special focus on the assessment of their perceptions ...
Determination of Irrigation Depths using a Numerical Model and Weather Forecast
Effect of a scheme of determining irrigation depth using numerical simulation for crop response to irrigation and weather forecast was tested for wheat cultivation in the semi-arid region of Jordan. Drip irrigation system, ...
Scaling Readiness Innovation Profile of "Supplementary Irrigation" Water Management System in Iran, Jordan, Syria and Turkey for Improving Water Availability and Efficiency In Rainfed Farming
Supplementary irrigation is a customizable complementary water
management system which enables the farmers to control the amount and
timing of irrigation in rainfed agricultural areas without large scale irrigation
infrastructure. ...
FAO/ICARDA webinars on measuring evapotranspiration - now open
The webinars cover a number of evapotranspiration measurement themes including underlining the time and space scale of measurement applications and analyzing their accuracy and suitability for use in arid and semi-arid ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
Planning and Piloting Watershed Rehabilitation for Improved Water Productivity with Water Harvesting in Jordan - Activity 1: Collect target community/ies' feedback and involve local stakeholders to co-develop agro-silvo-pastoral watershed rehabilitation and sustainable management approaches
Planning and Piloting Watershed Rehabilitation for Improved Water Productivity with Water Harvesting in Jordan
Activity 1: Collect target community/ies' feedback and involve local stakeholders to co-develop agro-silvo-pastoral ...
Effect of simulated irrigation in wheat cultivation in Jordan
To enhance net income from limited water resources, Fujimaki et al. (2014) presented a scheme for determining irrigation depth using a numerical model of crop response to irrigation and quantitative weather forecast. To ...
Assessing the perceptions of ecosystem services and ecological restoration activities by the local community of agricultural landscapes of northern Jordan Valley
This Research for Development Brief (R4D) aimed to investigate the trade-offs and synergies between
the rehabilitation of the marginal dryland ecosystem (uplands), a sustainable community-based resource management and the ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A promising Climate-Smart Practice for Dryland Agriculture
Supplemental irrigation - the addition of
limited amounts of water to essentially
rainfed crops to improve and stabilize
yields when rainfall fails to provide
sufficient moisture for normal plant
growth - is an effective ...
Energy Reduction and Uniformity of Low-Pressure Online Drip Irrigation Emitters in Field Tests
A promising way of addressing the issue of growing water scarcity is through wider use of drip irrigation, which delivers water and fertilizer to crops in a slow, targeted manner, and has been shown to increase yields and ...
