Temporal responses to drought and nitrogen stresses were studied on wheat (Triticum aestivum) seedlings subjected to drying and re-watering cycles. Growth traits were monitored in a soil column experiment conducted with two water and two nitrogen levels. Leaf area, dry weight, carbon and...

A field study on purple basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) was carried out to determine the effect of different irrigation water levels in 2007 and 2008 in the research field of Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture, in Turkey. Four irrigation treatments were determined as the irrigation water being...

Wadis are arid region drainage basins, mostly in the Quaternary depositions of different facies and grain size distributions depending on the paleogeologic environmental processes. Random and heterogeneous setup of the subsurface geological layer composition gives rather independent, haphazard...

The HEC-HMS and IHACRES rainfall runoff models were applied to simulate a single streamflow event in Wadi Dhuliel arid catchment that occurred on 30–31/01/2008. Streamflow estimation was performed on the basis of an hourly scale. The aim of this study was to develop a new framework of...

A Solar Photovoltaic (PV) pump operated drip irrigation system has been designed and developed for growing orchards in arid region considering different design parameters like pumps size, water requirements, the diurnal variation in the pressure of the pump due to change in irradiance and...

This study is aimed to use the available limited meteorologicaland hydrological data for two catchments located in the westernIraqi desert, to develop and apply a simple single event watershed model to simulate and predict the surface runoff hydrograph. The single event watershed model is based...

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the prevention of secondary soil salinity and the economic benefits of different drip line designs and irrigation regimes in northwest China. A three-year experiment (2008–2010) was carried out in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region of China and...

A 3-year experiment was conducted in an extremely dry and saline wasteland to investigate the effects of the drip irrigation on salt distributions and the growth of cotton under different irrigation regimes in Xinjiang, Northwest China. The experiment included five treatments in which the soil...
