Potential Sites for Hill Reservoirs: An Assessment Methodology Using GIS and Remote Sensing Tools
This study investigates the development of a methodology to identify potential sites for hill reservoirs using remote sensing and GIS, in an 1113-km2 area in northeast Tunisia. The general approach has two steps; first, ...
Screening of Some Chickpea Genotypes for Salinity Tolerance in a Mediterranean Environment
To understand the mechanisms that affect the response to salinity of legumes, six chickpea genotypes
were tested in sand-filled pots in the greenhouse. The chickpea seeds were irrigated with water of four
different ...
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 ...
In vitro salinity tolerance screening of some legumes and forages cultivars
The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
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 ...
