Use and Management of Irrigation Water in Arid Zones

The growing demand for water for its different uses has caused farmers to use different technologies for better irrigation water management, as well as the implementation of techniques that help them be more efficient.

This, coupled with the problems that arise in arid and semi-arid zones, where soil salinization processes are accelerated, requires timely information and knowledge on the subject.

On this site, you will find basic information on the concept of evapotranspiration (ET), irrigation water management, and salinity issues. And also, it is a window to have communication on various topics related to these issues, questions and queries can be sent through the "Contact" section.
