Soil and water salinity is a major challenge for the agricultural
community and policy makers in terms of meeting the burgeoning
population's demand for food and other agricultural commodities. In
coastal regions, climate change and sea level rise will aggravate
the problem with more and more areas becoming saline due to
intrusion of sea water. As such there is a pressing need for modern
tools and innovative techniques for the identification of salty
soils and poor-quality waters, crop production, soil reclamation
and lowering the water table in waterlogged areas. Tackling
next-generation problems such as contamination of soil and
underground water due to fluoride and arsenic, as well as
developing multi-stress tolerant crops is also a high priority.
Further, techniques for domesticating halophytes, mangrove-based
aquacultures, using seaweed cultures as agricultural crops and
integrated farming systems need to be perfected. This book
addresses all these aspects in detail, highlighting the diverse
solutions to tackle the complex problem of salinity and
waterlogging and safer management of poor-quality waters. With
chapters written by leading experts, it is a valuable resource for
researchers planning future investigations, policy makers, farmers
and other stakeholders, and for students wanting insights into
vital issues of environment.
