Water harvesting is a low-cost, easy-to-use, environmentally-friendly way to recover a large part of this lost water. How does water harvesting work? Which sites or areas are best suited and how can these areas be identified? How to design, build and maintain a water harvesting system tailored to local needs? How can water harvesting contribute to combating land degradation, enhancing food security and adaptingRainwater harvesting for agriculture in the dry areasWater harvestingRainwaterArid regions agricultureWater-supply, AgriculturalWater harvesting.Rainwater.Arid regions agriculture.Water-supply, Agricultural.628.1Oweis Theib Yousef889431Prinz Dieter1873376Hachum Ahmed Yousif1945-1873377FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910957901903321Water harvesting for agriculture in the dry areas4483428UNINA
