Large areas of crops are now grown under water-stressed conditions
on non-irrigated and and under limited irrigation in semi-arid and
arid regions. In the future, this area of water-stressed crops will
increase as a result of increasing competition from other water
users, declining ground water levels, and the bringing into
production of fragile lands that have low water-holding capacity,
such as sandy desert soils. Consequently, strategies and practices
to increase total yields and efficient water use must be improved.
After the introductory material and keynotes, the book is divided
into four parts. Part I covers soil water management, Part II deals
with model approaches to evaluate the soil-water-atmosphere
interactions, Part III treats water saving techniques through soil
conditioning, and Part IV discusses case studies of water
management systems. Water Saving Techniques for Plant Growth thus
represents a general account of interest and activities of the
various scientific disciplines which are concerned in desert
encroachment as part of global change.
