Salinity problems induced by irrigation are often presented in the literature as a threat that
can only be managed at the irrigation scheme scale by installing subsurface drainage. On …

Salinity associated with irrigation has in the past, and continues to be arguably the most
important factor threatening agricultural production under irrigation. Unfortunately the …

A vast number of projects on salinity in irrigated agriculture were funded by the Water
Research Commission (WRC) during the past 40 years. However, due to the diversity of the …

The origins and spatial variability of salinity within irrigated plots are a constraint to good
long-term field management. Regional depletion of groundwater resources, as well as soil …

This study was conducted in the irrigation zone of 'Zelba', located in the Region of Mahdia
(Eastern Tunisia). The main objective of the study is to investigate the effect of irrigating with …

This paper explores the nature, source and spatial variation of the salinity of water used for
irrigation in a coastal urban farming area in Cape Town, South Africa, where water from the …

Irrigated agriculture is threatened by soil salinity in numerous arid and semiarid areas of the
Mediterranean basin. The objective of this work was to quantify soil salinity through …

Salt balance methods are generally applied in the root-zone and at local scales but do not
provide relevant information for salinity management at irrigation scheme scales, where …

In arid and semi-arid regions irrigation tends to degrade soil and water quality through salt
accumulation with devastating effects on some crops. This is, according to irrigators, also the …

The irrigated area of Kalaat Landelous in northern Tunisia is an example of the successful
reclamation of 3000 ha of soils affected by shallow ground water levels and salinization …
