Addressing Salinity Issues in Syrian and Iraqi Irrigated Agriculture

The irrigation practices in flood plains of Syria and Iraq have led to significant salinity problems in rainfed and irrigated lands. These practices disrupt the natural water cycle, diverting runoff and increasing evaporation, which in turn concentrates salts in the soil and groundwater. Understanding the interplay between irrigation, evaporation, runoff, and plant uptake is crucial for sustainable agriculture in these desert regions. Effective management strategies are essential to mitigate salt pollution and enhance agricultural productivity while preserving the environment.

  8. Irrigation Disrupts the Natural Water Cycle • Irrigation diverts run-off from its natural flow to the ocean, and • Exposes water to increased evaporation resulting in salt build-up. • This saltier water then infiltrates into the ground and salt accumulates in the groundwater. • Plant uptake brings the salty groundwater to the surface soil
