Salt Management: The Australian Experience
Salinity is the accumulation of soluble salts (predominantly NaCl) in soil and water, usually over an extended period of time. For most people the term has negative connotations, associated as it is with long-term land and ...
Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
Salinity management in Central and Southern Iraq: Prospects under existing drainage conditions
Excessive irrigation and poor drainage conditions have contributed to rising groundwater tables leading to salinity-induced land degradation in the irrigated areas of central and southern Iraq. Soil salinity problems have ...
Report B1.4: Water and salt trends and balances for the Mesopotamian plain
This report is part of a series analyzing water and salt flow through the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Mesopotamian plain. The series provide an insight in the layout and operation of the water and salt flow to allow ...
Development of Salinity Models by Remote Sensing in Central and Southern Iraq
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
Multi-temporal Salinity Mapping in the Pilot Sites and Mesopotamian Region: (Output A1.4 and A2.2)
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
Assessment of the Current Status of Irrigation Activity and Drainage Infrastructure in Iraq
This technical report assesses the current state of the irrigation and drainage in the Babil and Wasit provinces in central Iraq. It describes and documents the irrigation activity and drainage infrastructure in two selected ...
Report B4. Guidelines to a salinity management framework in Iraq
This document identifies the steps needed to develop a salinity management framework for the Mesopotamian plain in Iraq, without considering external influences on water quantity and quantity from outside the plain.
Quantify the spatial distribution of salt-affected land in central and southern Iraq - Validation Report
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
Understanding the linkages between groundwater table depth, groundwater quality, soil salinity and crop production in Al-Musaib and Al-Dujaila Project areas of Iraq
The main objective of this study is to assess the current state of groundwater levels, groundwater and soil salinity, irrigation and drainage practices and their combined impact on crop production and soil salinization ...
