Haloculture: strategy for sustainable utilization of saline land and water resources
Abstract Land salinization is a major obstacle to the sustainable development of agriculture in arid regions. The demand for food, fiber, fuel and fresh water has increased in the recent decades, particularly in developing nations, due to alarming rise in population. As fresh water resources and productive lands for crop production are limited, new strategies for the sustainable utilization of ...
متن کاملFacing the challenge of sustainable bioenergy production: Could halophytes be part of the solution?
Due to steadily growing population and economic transitions in the more populous countries, renewable sources of energy are needed more than ever. Plant biomass as a raw source of bioenergy and biofuel products may meet the demand for sustainable energy; however, such plants typically compete with food crops, which should not be wasted for producing energy and chemicals. Second-generation or ad...
متن کاملSustainable Management of Groundwater Resources Using Multi-Criteria Programming (A Case Study of Kashmar Plain)
Frequent droughts and their consequences result in the loss of groundwater, the deficiency of nutrients, the drying of surface water resources, and substantially more exploitation of the groundwater resources, which, altogether, cause the mobilization of saline waters to groundwater tables. This will impair the capacity of the aquifers and the quality of the water. The VIKOR method was applied ...
متن کاملUsing of Metaheuristic Water Cycle Algorithm in order to Determine Optimal Crop Cultivation across of Genetic Algorithm and linear programming (Case Study: Varamin Irrigation Network)
Due to water use increasing, attention to optimal water resources allocation is needed. In recent decades, the use of intelligent evolutionary methods for optimization of water allocation was focused more by researchers. The aim of this study is to development on water resources planning model that determined the proper cultivation, optimal exploitation of groundwater and surface water resource...
متن کاملBiodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent is a high biodiversity region where most temperate-zone agricultural species originated and were first domesticated. A favorable environment, a special plant community, and an adaptive population combined to initiate the Neolithic—the New Stone Age—in the Fertile Crescent. However, over time, valuable plant genetic resources of the region are being eroded through degradatio...
