The author of this book has traveled extensively in many desert and
semi-desert territories of the U.S.S.R., Morocco, Tunisia, the
Egyptian region of the U.A.R., Pakistan and India where he realized
the importance of water for the reclamation of vast areas of arid
and semi-arid lands. During his visits the author became acquainted
with the theory and practice of land irrigation in many countries
of North Africa and Asia. The present book is the first attempt at
generalizing the vast amount of material dealing with the
hydrogeology of the irrigated lands of the arid zone of North
Africa and Asia, stretching from the African coastline of the
Atlantic Ocean to the central parts of Asia. Outlined in this book
are the origin and distribution of saline lands in the deserts of
North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Iran Highlands, Middle
Asia, China and Mongolia. A description is given of the surface
waters in irrigated areas of the arid zone together with the
sources, movement and draining, infiltration, condensation and
evaporation of water in the desert and semi-desert territories. The
book gives a sketch of the regime of free ground waters in
irrigated areas and methods of studying it, problems of water
balance and its forecasting, based on experimental research and
simple theoretical calculations. Principles of the hydrogeological
division of irrigated lands into districts and basic measures to
prevent their salinization are also given. The book can serve as a
textbook for engineer-hydrogeologists, melioration specialists and
students at specialized hydrogeological and agricultural institutes
and schools.
