Assessment of Available Field Instruments for Each Institution and Calibration Status, and Recommend Possible Additional Instruments to Complement the Existing Ones
As a preparatory procedure of this ET project, the preliminary step was to visit the selected countries
based on the prior communication with various NARS partners and ICARDA local offices about the
feasibility of implementing ...
Field Data Analysis and Reporting Activity 7.1: Analyze the Data of the Field Measurements
Reliable spatiotemporal measurements of evapotranspiration (ETa) are important for water resources planning, management and monitoring, efficient irrigation scheduling, and development and monitoring of climate change ...
Improved On-farm Irrigation Management for Olive Growing - A Case Study from Morocco
The key success factors of the olive oil market are the enhancement and stabilization of olive yields, improvement of olive oil quality and reduction of production costs. There is great potential for cost reduction in terms ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
Detail Description of the technical specifications of the Instruments, Maintenance Standards and Calibration Protocols.
Document details the procedures to conduct the field measurements in the five countries
NENA Regional ET-Network, Activity 1.1: Institutions and Staff Members Involved
There are several conventional field methods used to determine ETa, including: 1) the Eddy covariance/energy balance method; 2) the Bowen-ratio/energy balance method; 3) Weighing lysimeters; 4) Soil-moisture depletion ...

ICARDA-European Commission partnership (1990-2011)
This brief highlights cooperation between the European Commission and ICARDA for programs over the past two decades to improve food security and the livelihoods of rural populations in the world’s dry areas.
Rainfed Benchmark Site Selection and Characterization
The project aims (1) to promote the adoption of technologies to increase water productivity and thus guarantee sustainable agricultural production; and (2) to transfer those technologies to other supplementary irrigated ...
Improving water and land productivity in rainfed systems
Climate change has led to more severe conditions throughout the world as well as in Morocco. In general, rainfall has declined and average temperatures have increased. These new rainfall patterns are threatening water ...
