The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate ...
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 ...
Agricultural water productivity Hotspots of irrigated areas in 2002
The Hot spots of high and low water productivity was done by classifying the biophysical agricultural water productivity (kg/m3) layer into three classes: (i) High water productivity which includes values exceeding 1.0 ...

Rain-fed agriculture accounts for about 80% of the world’s farmland and two-thirds
of global food production. Despite the higher risks and generally lower
productivity compared to irrigated areas, rainfed agriculture will ...
Agricultural water productivity Hotspots of irrigated areas in 2006
The Hot spots of high and low water productivity was done by classifying the biophysical agricultural water productivity (kg/m3) layer into three classes: (i) High water productivity which includes values exceeding 1.0 ...
Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
