About this item

by Magaly Koch (Guest Editor), M. Thomas Missimer (Guest Editor)

Drylands are fragile environments and, therefore, highly susceptible to environmental changes. They cover nearly 50% of the world's land surface and are increasingly being reclaimed by a growing population for food production and urbanization. This makes water resources management in drylands an extremely important issue. The unplanned water resources development may result in aquifer depletion, soil and/or water salinization, loss of water through evapotranspiration due to inadequate irrigation systems, and land degradation (e.g., soil erosion, soil crusting, and sand encroachment).
