Soil salinity: A global threat to sustainable development

Ajay Singh

Summary: Soil is crucial for feeding the growing global population, and excess salt causing soil salinity poses a significant threat to agricultural production and environmental health. Remote sensing and GIS applications are effective in managing global soil salinity issues by providing indicators, monitoring, and mapping, although challenges such as spatial resolution errors need to be addressed.

Long-Term (44 Years) Regional Groundwater Recharge Estimation for Agricultural Sustainability

Ajay Singh

Summary: The advancement of irrigated agriculture is crucial for meeting the increasing food demands of the global population, but inadequate management can lead to hydrological issues. The study developed and utilized a simple groundwater recharge model to assess the hydrological problems in a region of northwest India through long-term seasonal groundwater recharge analysis.

Judicious and optimal use of water and land resources for long-term agricultural sustainability

Ajay Singh

Summary: Water and land scarcity have increased due to population growth, urbanization, contamination of resources, and climate change impacts. This study developed an optimization model to maximize agricultural return and address irrigation-related waterlogging and salinization problems. The results showed that optimal allocation can increase groundwater withdrawal, improve agricultural income, and alleviate waterlogging and salinization problems. The study highlights the long-term implications of sustaining agricultural productivity and conserving water resources in arid and semi-arid regions.

Soil salinity prediction based on scale-dependent relationships with environmental variables by discrete wavelet transform in the Tarim Basin

Yang Wei et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the scale-dependent variability in soil salinity distribution under environmental controlling factors using discrete wavelet transform techniques. The results showed that the prediction accuracy significantly improved when considering multiple scale-specific relationships of environmental variables. Specific environmental factors like GDVI, evapotranspiration, and TRI were identified as major predictors of soil salinity in different land types within the oasis region.

Soil salinization management for sustainable development: A review

Ajay Singh

Summary: Expanding irrigated agriculture is essential to feed the growing global population, but it can lead to soil salinization without proper management, which is a persistent environmental issue. Over 20% of global irrigated areas currently face soil salinization and waterlogging, with potential expansion to over 50% by 2050. Proper management of soil salinization is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goals, and comprehensive measures are needed to address this environmental problem.

Characterizing soil salinity at multiple depth using electromagnetic induction and remote sensing data with random forests: A case study in Tarim River Basin of southern Xinjiang, China

Fei Wang et al.

Summary: The Tarim River Basin is facing severe soil salinization issues, and a study combining electromagnetic induction (EMI) with Random Forest (RF) was conducted to map soil salinity regionally. The results showed that this approach was effective for predicting soil salinity at different depths.
