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 ...
Implications of a shift in irrigation technology on resource use efficiency: A Syrian case
The absence of adequate land leveling coupled with the ill designed traditional furrow irrigation systems
and the poor condition of drainage structures in most Syrian farms are leading to over-irrigation. A stochastic
production ...
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 ...

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 ...
Rehabilitation of irrigation and drainage infrastructure in Iraq
A contribution from Component D of the Soil Salinity Management in Central and Southern Project
This study is undertaken with the collaboration of the irrigation, water management and agricultural extension departments in ...
Combined effect of tillage system, supplemental irrigation and genotype on bread wheat yield and water use in the dry Mediterranean region
Approaches that can help reduce future water shortages and increase food production in the
Mediterranean region include the capture of more rainwater and better use of scarce irrigation water.
The objective of this study ...
Assessing the Efficiency of Ateel Wastewater Treatment Station and Its Suitability for Rehabilitation Improving Water Quality and Its Safe and Practical Application
In regions where water is in short supply, wastewater treatment offers the possibility for the efficient removal of unwanted pollutants and germs so that the water may be used for irrigation. Water scarcity is an old problem ...
Managing Salinity in Iraq's Agriculture: Potential Solutions & Interventions
This report is the second in a series of three publications that comprises an overview of the Iraq Salinity Assessment. This report documents solutions and impacts identified in the first report in this series. The third ...
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.
