Approaches and Strategies for sustainable wheat production
This handbook provides practical information on wheat production. It aims to inform the work of policy makers, agriculture agencies, extension agents, non-governmental organizations, universities and research organizations, ...
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 ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
Water Harvesting
Presentation on the concept of water harvesting, methods, planning and design, implementation, operation and maintenance.
A Participatory GIS Approach for Assessing Land Suitability for Rainwater Harvesting in an Arid Rangeland Environment
The dry rangelands of West Asia and North Africa are fragile and severely degraded due to low rainfall and mismanagement of natural resources. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) interventions are used to increase soil moisture ...
Assessing the Efficiency of Grey-Water Reuse at Household Level and Its Suitability for Sustainable Rural and Human Development
In arid and semi-arid regions where water is in short supply, grey-water treatment offers the possibility of supplemental water resources for reuse in irrigation at household and farm levels. The gravest environmental ...
The use of the microcatchment water harvesting for fodder shrub production
The Badia constitutes about 90% of the total land area of Jordan, which is 89 342 km2. Its average annual rainfall is < 200 mm. The area with annual rainfall of 100–200 mm is considered the promising rangeland for ...
Microcatchment water harvesting systems for fruit trees and shrubs
This report will focus on results of 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons in which the conventional handmade microcatchment was compared to the mechanized one through research done at the Jordan University of Science and Technology site.
Managing Scarce Water Resources in Agriculture; Towards a paradigm change
Water scarcity intensifying as many countries with chronic water scarcity, in addition the water for agriculture in dry areas is declining and Climate change adds to the problem.
Middle East Water and Livelihoods Initiative (WLI)
This will ensure more sustainable ecosystems and improved rural livelihoods. Emphasis is given to building on local knowledge by using existing data, social capital, research linkages, partnerships and proven methodologies ...
