Efficient Water Conservation In Agriculture For Growing Urban Water Demands In Jordan, Raed Al-Tabini, A.R. Octavio, A,W. Frank, R. Phillips

Per capita water supply in Jordan is among the world’s lowest. Despite this scarcity, three quarters of Jordan’s water use is consumed by irrigated agriculture, while producing low economic values at the margin compared to urban uses. However, irrigated agriculture supports Jordan’s food security, so its policymakers continue to examine measures to produce more crop‐per‐drop in irrigated agriculture to permit scarce water to meet growing urban demands. This paper examines economically efficient measures to conserve water in …

Six varieties of forage kochia [Kochia prostrata (L.)

Varieties were seeded in December 2007 and evaluated in August 2008 and June 2009 for frequency and height at two sites in arid rangeland areas of southern and northern Jordan. Conditions were very dry with the southern site (Qurain) receiving 110 mm and 73 mm of annual precipitation, and the northern site (Tal Rimah) receiving 58 and 43 mm during the winters of …
