This report presents findings of a study conducted in 1997-2001 in the Syria Badia to test different water-harvesting techniques for improving vegetative cover. The study identified technologies that could enhance soil-water retention to enable crops survive, even during periods of drought. The collaborative research was undertaken by ICARDA scientists and their counterparts from the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research of the Syrian Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform.
