Improving Rainwater Productivity with Supplemental Irrigation in Upper Karkheh River Basin of Iran
The Karkheh River Basin (KRB) is located in the south-western parts of Iran. Most of the agricultural area in the upper KRB is rainfed and a large part of the region’s agricultural livelihood is based on dryland farming ...
Semi-Detailed Soil Surveys of Merek and Honam Watersheds, Karkheh River Basin, Iran
The study of soils is important for landuse planning, agriculture, and natural resource development programs. Determination of soil characteristics and limitations is one of the most important duties of soil researchers. ...
Policies, Institutions and Economies of Water Resources and Management in the Karkheh River Basin of Iran
This research report addresses researchers, farmers, decision and policy makers and public and private organizations involved in land and water development in the Karkheh River Basin (KRB) of Iran.
Impact of Expanding Supplemental Irrigation in the Upper Karkheh River Basin (Iran) on Downstream Flow
The Karkheh River Basin (KRB) of Iran has a semi-arid to arid climate and suffers from low rainfed agricultural productivity. Supplemental irrigation (SI) is recommended in the upper KRB to increase crops yields and water ...
Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
Productivity enhancement of salt-affected environments through crop diversification
Recent trends and future demographic projections suggest that the need to produce more food and fibre will necessitate effective utilization of salt-affected land and saline water resources. Currently at least 20 per cent ...
Agro·ecological zones of Karkheh River Basin: A reconnaissance assessment of climatic and edaphic patterns and their similarity to areas inside and outside the Basin
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food - Improving livelihood resilience by integrated natural resource management in upper catchments of dry areas (pn24) and improving on-farm agricultural water productivity in the ...
A methodology to estimate equity of canal water and groundwater use at different spatial and temporal scales: a geo-informatics approach
Indus basin irrigation system (IBIS) is one of
the largest contiguous irrigation systems of the world. The
surface canal water supplies are far less than the crop water
demands which lead farmers to use groundwater to ...
