Waterlogging and salinization arise in arid areas largely because two essential resources, irrigation water and the assimilative capacity of unconfined aquifers, are not priced or allocated correctly to reflect scarcity values and opportunity costs. Farm-level and project-level models of crop production are examined to identify policies that will encourage farmers to consider opportunity costs ...

Salinity affects about one third of irrigated land, causing a significant reduction in crop productivity (Flowers & Yeo, 1995; Ravindran et al., 2007). For this reason researchers have paid considerable attention to this important environmental problem over the last decades. Few studies, however, have dealt specifically with ornamental plants used in landscapes, despite the fact that salt stres...

the use of saline groundwater resources, in addition to save fresh water, could be used in production of forage in saline soils. in order to do it, the area in northern ardakan, yazd province with saline ground water (ec= 11.25ds/m, sar= 16.7) and saline and alkaline soil (ec=27.3ds/m, esp= 30.2%) was selected for planting of atriplelentiformis, seidlitzia rosemarinus, and nitraria schoberi. th...

regarding increased limitations on fresh water availability in agriculture and the necessity of finding solutions for management of unconventional waters, some scenarios for using saline water were assessed for forage maize. saltmed model, as an integrated approach, can be used for a variety of irrigation systems, soil types, soil stratifications, crops, water management strategies (blending or...

Population’s exponential growth along with drought has increased water resources limitation, especially in arid and semi-arid area. Therefore, the use of non-conventional water is an important tool for water resource management. If unconventional water has no negative impact on soil properties and water, it can be used for irrigation coupled with desertification projects. So, this paper tries t...

Narrative: Various solutions are available for use in wound irrigation. It has been suggested that normal saline may be preferable because of its isotonicity and sterility. This review examines tap water as an alternative to normal saline for wound cleansing and prevention of subsequent infection. A Cochrane review, including three studies of adults and two studies of children, compared the rat...
