and land distribution, the agricultural system. There is no public access to this
information or that the data simply does not exist. There are some papers on
hydrogeological results, of course, but they are often very detailed and do not
address fundamental water potential questions.
37. Developing a more effective plan and design for agronomic management in the
area to regulate over-exploitation of groundwater by replacing the outmoded
irrigation systems with modern and efficient ones, water reuse for irrigation,
and plantation of drought-resistant crops or species.
38. Installing a proper network of irrigation and drainage systems, which will enable
optimum use of water with minimum losses and also to void increasing the soil
and water salinity as a result of over pumping.
39. Moreover, geophysical investigations are suggested by utilizing different techniques with more prominent examination depth to evaluate and study the
relationship between deep and shallow aquifers.
