A large agricultural area located in 20 km north of the city of Mashhad in the north-east of Iran is subject to land subsidence. The subsidence rate was achieved in a couple of sparse points by precise leveling between 1995 and 2005, and continuous GPS measurements obtained from 2005 to 2006.

Spate irrigation is an ancient form of water harvesting. It is a method of managing unpredictable and potentially destructive flash floods for crop and livestock production. By making water available, it can contribute to increasing the diversity of farming systems where it is found. It is the major source of livelihood for many communities in west Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

The groundwater resource of our country is now under serious threat due to over-exploitation, pollution, industrialization and improper management. The recharge shaft is an efficient and economic method for recharging groundwater. In this study, the effect of variable thickness of coarse sand (CS), gravel (G) and

A finite-element groundwater flow model, HYDRUS 2D, was used to simulate drawup and drawdown of piezometric pressure heads in the aquifer storage recovery cycles of varying buffer storage volumes and residence times in a highly brackish, semi-confined
aquifer under shallow water-table condition.

This article outlines an

Water resources development and management is not only imperative but also crucial for sustainable agriculture in water scarce areas of submontane region. Three small water harvesting tanks/ponds were constructed under the World Bank funded project in the region to harvest rainwater excess.

Rainwater harvesting is an age-old practice in India. It is a process of collection of runoff from treated or untreated land surfaces/catchments or rooftops and storing it in an open farm pond or closed water tanks/ reservoirs or in situ moisture strorage in the soil itself.
