Journal ArticleDOI
The state of desalination and brine production: A global outlook.
Edward R. Jones,Edward R. Jones,Manzoor Qadir,Michelle T. H. van Vliet,Vladimir Smakhtin,Seong Mu Kang,Seong Mu Kang +6 more
TL;DR: Improved brine management strategies are required to limit the negative environmental impacts and reduce the economic cost of disposal, thereby stimulating further developments in desalination facilities to safeguard water supplies for current and future generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Manzoor Qadir,Emmanuelle Quillérou,Vinay Nangia,Ghulam Murtaza,Murari Singh,Richard J. Thomas,Pay Drechsel,Andrew Noble +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present selected case studies that highlight the potential for economic and environmental benefits of taking action to remediate salt-affected lands and indicate that it can be cost-effective to invest in sustainable land management in countries confronting salt-induced land degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The challenges of wastewater irrigation in developing countries
Manzoor Qadir,Manzoor Qadir,Dennis Wichelns,Liqa Raschid-Sally,Peter G. McCornick,Peter G. McCornick,Pay Drechsel,Akissa Bahri,Paramjit Singh Minhas +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of source control, and farm-level and post-harvest measures can be used to protect farm workers and consumers from adverse impacts from wastewater irrigation in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global, regional, and country level need for data on wastewater generation, treatment, and use
Toshio Sato,Manzoor Qadir,Manzoor Qadir,Manzoor Qadir,Sadahiro Yamamoto,Tsuneyoshi Endo,Ahmad Zahoor,Ahmad Zahoor +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that only 55 countries have data available on all three aspects of wastewater -generation, treatment, and use, while there is no information available from 57 countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crop and irrigation management strategies for saline-sodic soils and waters aimed at environmentally sustainable agriculture.
Manzoor Qadir,James D. Oster +1 more
TL;DR: Two strategies have shown the potential to improve crop production under irrigated agriculture while minimizing the adverse environmental impacts and could be the key to future agricultural and economic growth and social wealth in regions where salt-affected soils exist and/or where saline-sodic drainage waters are generated.
