Raised beds for improving crop water productivity and water efficiency in irrigated dryland agriculture, Egypt
Irrigation is crucial for agricultural activities, however if not managed well, it entails high water losses and can be inefficient in its application. The raised bed system is an improved surface irrigation strategy, which enhances water productivity and makes the application of water in irrigated systems more efficient. It can be easily implemented by the farmers themselves. This practice describes how raised bed systems can be used to improve crop water productivity in summer and winter crops.
