Water harvesting is a low-cost, easy-to-use, environmentally friendly way to recover a large part of this lost water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow does water harvesting work? Which sites or areas are best suited, and how can these areas be identified? How do you 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 adapting to climate change? \u003cem\u003eRainwater Harvesting for Agriculture in the Dry Areas\u003c\/em\u003e provides the answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is based on many years of research, training, and development by three of the world’s leading experts in water management and agriculture. It is authoritative, comprehensive, and easy to read, containing practical examples, many illustrations, and little jargon. This volume will be of great interest to researchers, development workers, farmers, policymakers, students of the natural sciences—in fact, anyone interested in the efficient, sustainable management of water resources and agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47607480287468,"sku":"9781032923703","price":109.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/5f75de0419aa6b85a11eff20624d0cee.jpg?v=1778189202"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/theib-y-oweis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
