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 ...
The Role of Early Sowing with Supplemental Irrigation in Cool Highland Environments
The per capita wheat consumption in the Central and West Asia and North
Africa (CWANA) region is the highest in the world. Therefore, the crop occupies a major share
of arable land annually in the region-as much as 70% of ...
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, ...
Improving agricultural water productivity: A necessary response to water scarcity and climate change in dry areas
Water resources in the dry areas are limited. Most of the available water is tapped and only limited new water is expected from non-conventional sources. As more water will be needed for other priority sectors, less water ...
Increasing water-use efficiency in sloping areas of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan
Low water-use efficiency and soil erosion are the main constraints to improved agricultural production in the sloping areas of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The soil degradation could be arrested by introducing water-saving ...
