Irrigation has a large potential to increase agricultural output and yield per unit area. However, the long term sustainability increased production, together with degradation of the soils (and associated water bodies) in irrigated areas may be irreparably damaged by inappropriate watering schedu...

Lessons from the results of smallholder irrigation technologies (IWMI)
In Uzbekistan, generally practiced methods of irrigating crops are varieties of flooding (basin, border and furrow). These practices have created problems of waterlogging, salinity and lower irrigation efficiency. Waterlogging and salinization already affect 50 percent of irrigated areas, and irr...
