Rainfed Wheat Productivity with Supplemental Irrigation in Al-Hasakeh, Northern Syria. On-Farm Water Husbandry Research Report Series No. 4. 2005. Somme, G.; Oweis, T.; El Omar, F.; Hachum, A.; Shayeb, R.; and Jooni, N. 31 pp. ISBN: 92-9127-162-2.
This report presents the results of a six-year study on supplemental irrigation for improving water-use efficiency and productivity of wheat in Al-Hasakeh governorate, northern Syria.
One of the most important findings of the research is that about half of supplemental irrigation amounts currently applied may be saved with only 10-15 % yield loss. The saved water may be applied to new rainfed crops with substantial yield increases. The findings and recommendations of this work have important policy implications which, if addressed, will benefit the farmers in rainfed areas in Syria and other similar environments in CWANA.
