Jordan | Al-Bakri

Project summary

While preliminary evidence suggests that SRM may positively influence global crop yields, significant knowledge gaps persist, particularly regarding its impacts in arid, water-scarce regions. Countries like Jordan, which face severe water scarcity, rely on adaptive agricultural water management strategies, such as deficit irrigation and drought-tolerant crop varieties. However, the potential interactions between SRM and such adaptive strategies remain poorly understood. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the interactions between SRM scenarios and adaptive agricultural water management strategies under arid conditions, using Jordan as a case study.
