Description

Explore the complex relationship between irrigation, drainage, and the environment in the Aral Sea basin. This specialized volume from the NATO Science Partnership Subseries examines the environmental challenges facing a region where irrigated areas total approximately 7.5 million hectares. As water is supplied to these vast areas, much of it is consumed by crops, but the remainder drains into groundwater basins, downstream depressions, or back into rivers. This process often leads to the accumulation of salts and chemicals, creating significant environmental issues. The book provides a detailed look at how the natural discharge capacity of the groundwater basin struggles to manage unconsumed irrigation water. Readers will learn about the consequences of these processes, including the rise in groundwater tables and the resulting waterlogging that occurs in (semi-) arid zones. This text serves as a necessary resource for understanding the hydrological and chemical shifts occurring within this specific geographic area.

Key Features

Analyzes the environmental impact of 7.5 million hectares of irrigated land within the Aral Sea basin.

Examines how irrigation water accumulates salts and chemicals during its use in the region.

Discusses the limitations of natural groundwater discharge capacity in handling unconsumed water.

Provides insights into the causes of rising groundwater tables and subsequent waterlogging.

Part of the NATO Science Partnership Subseries (Volume 2, 22) for specialized research.

Covers the drainage of water into groundwater basins, downstream depressions, and rivers.
