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 ...
Identification of potential areas for out-scaling sustainable land management options in West Asia, North Africa, and Central Asia
Water scarcity and land degradation are among the
most important factors affecting agricultural production and
sustainability in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region and
in Central Asia (CA). Various sustainable ...
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 ...
Modelling surface runoff and water productivity in small dryland watersheds with water-harvesting interventions, an application from Jordan
Vast areas of the rangelands (badia) of West Asia and North Africa are severely degraded due to over-grazing, cutting of shrubs and ploughing. Because of the scarce vegetation cover and the often dense soil surface crust, ...
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, ...
Water Harvesting techniques and strategies of soil and water conservation in Libya
Land degradation in massive scale and water scarcity become serious problems which are beyond the farmer’s capacity to solve in Libya. In order to plan an adequate land management, ICARDA introduces some new water techniques ...
