A GIS-based Approach for Assessing Water Harvesting Suitability in a Badia Benchmark Watershed in Jordan
In arid and semi-arid areas water harvesting techniques can be used to capture and efficiently utilize rainwater runoff to maintain productive and sustainable agro-pastoral systems. With water resources being depleted by ...
An integrated approach to select and characterize benchmark watersheds for sustainable resources management in Libya
The arid regions suffer from chronic water shortage with obvious impact on sustainable agricultural development. Libya faces severe water shortages and has invested heavily in developing and transferring non-renewable water ...
Water Harvesting and Supplemental Irrigation for Improved Water Productivity of Dry Farming Systems in West Asia and North Africa
In the dry areas, water, not land, is the most limiting resource for improved agricultural production. Maximizing water productivity, and not yield per unit of land, is therefore a better strategy for dry farming systems. ...
Using SWAT model for targeting sub-watersheds with rainwater harvesting and supplemental irrigation techniques in Libya
Rainfall in the arid and semi arid areas is limited with high spatial and temporal variability resulting in low water productivity. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) and supplemental irrigation (SI) can improve water productivity, ...
