A GIS‑based approach for up‑scaling capillary rise from field to system level under soil–crop–groundwater mix
Capillary rise represents an often neglected fraction of the water budget that contributes to crop water demand in situations of shallow groundwater levels. Such a situation is typical in irrigated areas of Central Asia ...
Environmental factors of spatial distribution of soil salinity on flat irrigated terrain
Inefficient irrigation and the excessive use ofwater on agricultural land in the Aral Sea Basin over several decades
have led to saline soils. The main objective of this paper is to identify the environmental predictors ...
Modeling irrigated cotton with shallow groundwater in the Aral Sea Basin of Uzbekistan: I. Water dynamics
In Khorezm, a region located in the Aral Sea basin of Uzbekistan, water use for irrigation of predominantly cotton is high whereas water use efficiency is low. To quantify the seasonal water and salt balance, water ...
Comparison and sensitivity of measurement techniques for spatial distribution of soil salinity
In Khorezm, a district of Uzbekistan situated in the Aral Sea Basin, soil
salinization is an important driver of soil degradation in irrigated agriculture. The main
objective of this study was to identify techniques that ...
