Crop and irrigation management strategies for saline-sodic soils and waters aimed at environmentally sustainable agriculture by Qadir, Manzoor, Oster, J.D.

“…Irrigation has long played a key role in feeding the expanding world population and is expected to play a still greater role in the future.As supplies of good-quality irrigation water are expected to decrease in several regions due to increased municipal-industrial-agricultural competition, available freshwater supplies need to be used more efficiently.In addition, reliance on the use and reuse of saline andyor sodic drainage waters, generated by irrigated agriculture, seems inevitable for irrigation.The same applies to salt-affected soils, which occupy more than 20% of the irrigated lands, and warrant attention for efficient, inexpensive and environmentally acceptable management. …”
