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 ...
Degraded versus restored rangeland states in Jordan – hillslope to small-catchment level implications on runoff and erosion
Over the past decades, migration, overgrazing and mismanagement transformed the Jordanian rangelands into degraded badlands. Almost bare and crusted soil surface conditions are interlinked with accelerated runoff, soil ...
Suitability of arid land rehabilitation technologies: simulation of water harvesting based solutions in Middle Eastern agro-pastures
The enhancement of Middle Eastern agro-pastures’ productivity through water harvesting originates from ancient technologies and indigenous knowledge. More recently, integrated watershed rehabilitation practices, such as ...
Land Degradation Risk Assessment for Sustainable Rangeland Restoration in Jordan
Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was used to explore three different rangeland states’ implications on water and soil fluxes. The estimated baseline (A), based on literature review and community questionnaire, ...
Modeling-based performance assessment of an indigenous macro-catchment water harvesting technique (Marab) in the Jordanian Badia
Water resources management is fundamental for rural communities in drylands, where water harvesting technologies (WHT) can be used for intercepting surface runoff and storing water in soils. The so-called “Marab” WHT was ...
Rangeland restoration in Jordan: Restoring vegetation cover by water harvesting measures
Restoration of the degraded rangelands in Jordan using mechanized water harvesting and native species
planting has become key to enhancing and maintaining the productivity and resilience of fragile ecosystems. A balanced ...
