Rain-water management for tree planting in the Indian Desert

In-situ rainwater harvesting and gravel mulch combination for corn production in the dry semi-arid region of China

“…The major advantages of MCWH are that it is simple, cheap, replicable, efficient and adaptable (Reij et al, 1988). The ridge and furrow method of MCWH was found to be effective on tree growth and crop production (Vashistha et al, 1980;Lal, 1986;Gupta, 1995). This study was designed to combine the gravel mulch technique with ridge and furrow methods of MCWH to maximize the advantages of both methods for corn production.…”

“…Therefore, an increase in the quantity of water available to crops could lead to an improvement of the reliability of production as well as the level of production (Reij et al, 1988). The water availability for crop production can be improved through various soil and water management practices (Reij et al, 1988;Gupta, 1995). Gravel mulch (known as 'shatian' or 'sandy fields' in Chinese) is one such technology which has been used to conserve the sporadic and limited rainfall in a region of rapidly draining loess soils in north-west China for *Corresponding author: Xiao-Yan Li, Cold and Arid Regions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Donggang West Road 260, Lanzhou 730000, P.

“…It was evinced by greater growth and biomass production in W 5 treatment and a negative correlation between growth variables and SWU in 0-25 cm soil layer in July and October 1995. Though, SWU did not differ (P > 0.05) among the soil layers but relatively greater use from 25-50 cm soil layer as compared to those in 0-25 and 50-75 cm soil layers have indicated that application of 30 liters of effluent per month was not sufficient to meet the growth requirement of the seedlings and the seedlings are meeting their requirement of water from the deeper soil layers (Gupta 1995).…”

Kriteria Rancang Bangun Sistem Panen Hujan Dan Aliran Permukaan: Studi Kasus Das Cisadane Hulu

“…Di India Gupta (1995) mengaplikasikan teknik panen hujan untuk menghadapi kekeringan dan untuk irigasi pada tanaman. Zakaria et al (2012) memanfaatkan teknologi panen hujan untuk irigasi suplementer di daerah lahan kering yang sering mengalami keterbatasan sumbersaya air di Irak.…”
