Global warming and altered precipitation patterns are predicted to intensify the water loss in semi-arid arid regions, such regions Turkey will be particularly affected. Moreover, abstraction, not least for irrigation purposes, is expected increase markedly, posing major threats balance of lakes thus their biodiversity. Among closed basins Turkey, Burdur Closed Basin (BCB), located southwest mo...

Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia. This study was conducted at the Koga Irrigation Scheme in upper basin (Ethiopia) to investigate influence of irrigation activity on groundwater system. Representative samples six shallow wells irrigated fields and four adjacent non-irrigated (rain-fed agricultural lands) were selected. Dipmeter hand GPS (GARMIN 60) used for monitoring water table depth fixing lo...

Dried stigma of saffron is the most expensive spice in world. In Iran, majority farms use traditional basin method for irrigation, which, together with other irrigation methods may soon face serious problems because droughts future. Making an evaluation regional crop response to important adoption a proper management strategy. this study, effect employing different methods, including sprinkler,...

The objective of the present study is to investigate the effects of irrigation water salinity,cow manure levels and different planting methods on ions variation in soil and their uptake bysaffron. A split-split plot arrangement was conducted in a randomized complete block designwith irrigation water salinity levels (0.45 (fresh water, S1), 1.0 (S2), 2.0 (S3) and 3.0 (S4) dS m-1)as the main plot...

The quality of groundwater resources in the Pra Basin (Ghana) is threatened by ongoing river pollution from illegal mining. To date, there are very limited data and literature on hydrochemical characteristics basin. For first time, we provide regional surface water to gain insight into geochemical processes for drinking irrigation purposes. We collected 90 samples (rivers) (boreholes) analysed ...

Groundwater is an important source for a drink and irrigation in the Blinaja river basin. Understanding knowledge of water quality critical to management long-term productivity. Historically this study area there no data information regarding use needs. Therefore, was need assess based on analysed from eight sampling points. The purpose paper evaluate, relying analytical results, groundwater ba...

The effect of 10-year continuous saffron cultivation on physical and chemical properties of a silty clay loam soil was investigated in a research farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz (52 º 33ʹ E Longitude and 29º 36ʹ N latitude), Iran. This farm was irrigated with different regimes (100% of saffron's potential evapotranspiration (ETp), 75%ETp, 50%ETp) including rain fed tre...
