Approximately 1 billion ha of the global land surface is currently salt-affected, representing
about 7% of the earth's land surface. Whereas most of it results from natural geochemical …

Soil and water salinity and associated problems are a major challenge for global food
production. Strategies to cope with salinity include a better understanding of the impacts of …

Abstract The HYDRUS-1D and HYDRUS (2D/3D) computer software packages are widely
used finite-element models for simulating the one-and two-or three-dimensional movement …

The challenge of meeting the projected doubling of global demand for food by 2050 is
monumental. It is further exacerbated by the limited prospects for land expansion and rapidly …

Water-scarcity in dry areas is driving agriculture towards increased utilization of marginal to
poor quality water sources for irrigation. This includes groundwater and recycled wastewater …

Salinity is a major problem in arid and semi-arid regions, where irrigation is essential for
crop production. Major sources of salinity in these regions are salt-rich irrigation water and …

In this comparative research, we applied the HYDRUS (2D/3D) and SALTMED models to
investigate the influence of various water-saving irrigation strategies on maize water …

Drip irrigation is more effective and less expensive if a large amount of soil can be wetted
with each emitter without losing water or nutrients below the root zone. The distance that …

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a drought-hardy crop, suited to arid and semi-arid
regions, where the use of marginal water for agriculture is on the rise. The use of saline …

Nitrate losses are the dominant cause of the non-point source pollution under agricultural
fields. In this study, the HYDRUS-2D model was first calibrated and validated using data …
