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 ...
Actual Evapotranspiration of irrigated areas in 2006
Evapotranspiration was determined using the methodology proposed by USGS’s Simplified Surface Energy Balance. The Actual Evapotranspiration (AET, mm) estimation was done using MODIS 1km (thermal infrared band resolution) ...
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 ...
Improving Water Productivity in Irrigated Agri-food Production Systems
Fifteen professionally-trained national agricultural research trainees: 9 from Iraq, 2 from Jordan and 4 from a range of other countries (1 from Egypt, 2 from China and 1 from Japan) trained on improving water productivity ...
Agricultural water productivity for rainfed areas in 2008
Agricultural Water Productivity (WPM) (kg/m3) was determined for each pixel by dividing crop productivity (kg/ha) raster layer by seasonal crop water use in terms of actual evapotranspiration (m3/ha) raster layer.The WPM ...
Conservation Agriculture in West Asia
This chapter covers the Conservation Agriculture approach in West Asia (WA) region.
Mapping soil salinity changes using remote sensing in Central Iraq
Salinization is a common problem for agriculture in dryland environments and it has greatly affected land productivity
and even caused cropland abandonment in Central and Southern Iraq. Hence it is of pressing importance ...
SALINITY MANAGEMENT
Water is the major limiting factor of agricultural production in the dry areas of Central and
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) regions. Agriculture accounts for around 80-90% of
freshwater consumption in the regions. ...
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 ...
