of policy makers, agriculture agencies, extension agents, non-governmental organizations,
universities and research organizations, ...
An integrated approach to select and characterize benchmark watersheds for sustainable resources management in Libya
The arid regions suffer from chronic water shortage with obvious impact on sustainable agricultural development. Libya faces severe water shortages and has invested heavily in developing and transferring non-renewable water ...
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 ...
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 ...
Agricultural water productivity for rainfed areas in 2006
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 ...
Scenarios and analysis
Three scenarios were examined for the normal year of 2006. The scenarios are based on raising
agricultural water productivities to various levels by more investment, improving water management,
agricultural practices and ...
