A new approach to overcome the waterlogging and salinity problems in the Aral Sea basin
2003
Kapoor, A.S.
The annual irrigated area from the water of the rivers Amu Darya and Syr Darya in the Aral Sea Basin has increased from 2.5 million hectares (1900) to 8.0 m ha (2000). The estimated average available annual water resource is about 120 billion cubicmetres (bcm). The volume or return water is about 30 bcm, a major part of which is disposed off into the rivers. Water logging/salinity problem in irrigated lands in the Aral Basin cannot be overcome by traditional drainage measures. There is a threatof its getting worse and worse with passage of time. Biodrainage, by itself or in combination with other drainage measures, can be of great help
