  • Monitoring and Predicting Agricultural Drought

    A Global Study

    by Vijendra K. Boken, Arthur P. Cracknell, Ronald L. Heathcote ...
    Agricultural droughts affect whole societies, leading to higher food costs, threatened economies, and even famine. In order to mitigate such effects, researchers must first be able to monitor them, and then predict them; however no book currently focuses on accurate monitoring or prediction of these devastating kinds of droughts. To fill this void, the editors of Monitoring and Predicting ... Read more

  • The Inter-Relationship Between Irrigation, Drainage and the Environment in the Aral Sea Basin

    Edited by M.G. Bos ...
    Series Book 22 - NATO Science Partnership Subseries
    The irrigated area in the Aral Sea basin totals about 7. 5 million hectare. Part of the water supplied to this area is consumed by the irrigated crop; the remainder of the supplied water drains to the groundwater basin, to downstream depressions, or back to the rivers. During its use, however, this drained part of the water accumulates salts and chemicals. The disposal of this polluted water ... Read more

  • Modelling of Hydrological Processes in the Narew Catchment

    Edited by Dorota Świątek, Tomasz Okruszko ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Since climate and land use strongly affect the runoff pattern and intensity of solute export, it is likely that some observations and conclusions formulated on the basis of investigations carried out in forested catchment may not be fully adequate to describe controls on solute export from agricultural watersheds. The primary objective of the present research is to better understand the flow paths ... Read more

  • Rangeland Desertification

    Edited by Olafur Arnalds, Steve Archer ...
    Series Book 19 - Advances in Vegetation Science
    Desertification has occurred worldwide. The biophysical and socio-economic complexity of this phenomenon has challenged our ability to categorize, inventory, monitor and repair the condition of degraded lands. One of the most important distinctions to be made in relation to land degradation is between cultivated land used for annual crop production and `rangelands'. Grazing by free-roaming ... Read more
