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 ...
Rainfed Benchmark Site Selection and Characterization
The project aims (1) to promote the adoption of technologies to increase water productivity and thus guarantee sustainable agricultural production; and (2) to transfer those technologies to other supplementary irrigated ...
Systems approach to water productivity assessment using cropping system Models
Irrigation management of crops in Egypt is characterized by the application of more water than the crops require. In fact, large amounts of water are supplied without any estimates of the soil water content at the root ...
Selection and Characterization of Badia Watershed Research Sites
This report describes the use of improved methodologies developed for identifying water-harvesting sites. It also provides general guidelines for determining site potential in relation to various parameters. The approach ...
A new concept of irrigation response units for effective management of surface and groundwater resources - A case study from the multi-country Fergana valley, Central Asia.
When estimating canal water supplies for largescale irrigation schemes and especially in arid regions worldwide, the impact of all factors affecting the gross irrigation requirements (GIR) are not properly accounted for, ...
Towards sustainable and improved water productivity in the old lands of the Nile Delta
Almakatei village, located on Alatf canal, was selected purposely to represent the community. Its agricultural land is located across three main districts in Menoufia Governorate – Al Bagour, Shebin Al Koum and Quesna. ...
Assessment of wheat yield gap in the Mediterranean: Case studies from Morocco, Syria, and Turkey
The WANA region has 137 million hectares of arable land of which 35 million hectares are sown to wheat, mostly grown under rainfed conditions with productivity in the range of 0.5–1.5 t/ ha. Wheat products are integral ...
Selection and Characterization Of the Badia Benchmark research site
How suitable an area is for WH depends on local society, farming practices, and whether the area meets the basic technical requirements of the WH system in question. When planning such systems, appropriate data must be ...
Improving Water and Land Productivity in Irrigated Systems
This is the fundamental scope of the Irrigation Benchmark Project, where the emphasis was placed on introducing and implementing new water saving technologies. Additionally, emphasis was laid on the participation and ...
