Mechanization of transplanting shrubs seedlings and contours laser guiding for Vallerani system
In relevance to the project objectives and expected outputs, the reported research aimed at introducing a mechanized transplanting technique to the WH system to reduce costs and time of establishment of fodder shrubs, thus ...
Potential use of treated wastewater for supplemental irrigation of cereals Algeria
This report explores the different aspects of using treated wastewater as a source of supplemental irrigation for enhancing productivity under rainfed conditions in Algeria.
Evaluation of the CropSyst model in wheat
CropSyst is the crop growth model chosen as a decision tool for the Tadla Benchmark project. CropSyst is a daily time step simulation model. The model was developed to serve as an analytic tool to study the effect of ...
Adoption and impact of supplemental irrigation in wheat-based systems in Syria
Agriculture in Syria depends on a wide base of varied natural resources extending over five agro-ecological zones differing in total precipitation, soil structure, and water resources such as rivers, springs, dams, and ...
Rainfed benchmark Site selection and characterization
From these workshops and an analysis of project documentation, we can conclude that possibilities for the improvement of water use do exist. These improvements depend not only on technical aspects, but also on organization ...
Database development management in a GIS environment
The rangelands of West Asia and North Africa are the grazing grounds for the Bedouin with their flocks of sheep, goats and camels and are known as al Badia in the Middle East region. Average annual rainfall in the Badia ...
Economic evaluation and adoption of improved technologies
In this study, an economic evaluation of water-use efficiency technologies proposed and tested by the agronomic team in the Tadla Irrigated Perimeter was carried out. To capture climatic variability, the analysis was ...
Adaption, environmental impact and economic assessment of water harvesting practices in the Badia benchmark site
The shortage of water in arid zones represents the most serious obstacle to poverty reduction because it limits the extent to which poor producers of crops and livestock can take advantage of opportunities arising from ...
Effect of water harvesting techniques on water productivity and soil erosion
The Jordan Badia is representative of the vast drier environments of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. Pasture rangeland covers the majority of the Badia, although the vegetative cover is not dense. The vegetation ...
Impact of microcatchment water harvesting on the diversity of the Badia rangelands of Jordan
This study aimed at conducting the followings activities:
• To survey and identify the flora at the Mharib watershed (the intervention area of the Badia Benchmark Project),
• to study the effect of microcatchment WH ...
