Estimates indicate that around 20-25 percent of the active population of Lebanon derives at least part of its livelihoods from agriculture. Nevertheless, the majority of farmers live below the upper poverty line of 4 USD per day. The enhancement of food security, rural development and sustainable resources management are, thus, imperative and they are targeted as key priorities. In order to bring effective improvements at field level, however, the joint efforts of all stakeholders are required, from decision-makers to agricultural practitioners. The current Field Guide has been prepared as a practical and technical tool that can well respond to the current challenges in land reclamation for soil and water management and, ultimately, support final beneficiaries and agricultural agents through the provision of clear indicators and potential costs. The Guide, thus, should be considered not simply as a compendium of land reclamation and water management practices, but also as a manual for implementers and specialists. The Guide provides a complete set of instructions to implement an extensive range of land reclamation and water management solutions to achieve optimal employment of resources, and it also takes in due consideration the constraint represented by the availability of resources for farmers willing to improve their practices. The illustrated techniques are presented together with realistic estimates of required manual work, labor employment and financial costs, for a correct evaluation based on local and individual needs and priorities and the subsequent direct implementation.

Een korte opsomming: cultuurtechniek in de Derde Wereld; van interpretatie van bodemkaarten tot een waarde-oordeel over de grond; probleemgronden: de ontginning en de verzorging daarvan; onderzoek inzake het beheer van grondwaterbronnen; methoden en modellen met betrekking tot oppervlaktewaterhydrologie; ontwikkelingen in de planning van irrigatieprojecten; rijstverbouw en waterbeheersing; factoren die de uitvoerbaarheid van de irrigatie op kleine bedrijven beinvloeden; de reactie van het gewas op irrigatiewater; het gebruik van zout water voor irrigatie; het effect van drainage op de landbouw; ontwikkelingen in de techniek van drainagesystemen, die onder het maaiveld werken ("subsurface drainage") (in dit hoofdstuk komt tot uiting de gang van zeer arbeidsintensieve methoden naar moderne systemen met veel mechanisatie).

This book compares the lessons learned from a wetland-perspective approach to the changing climate and the requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) with regard to environmental conservation. Examples from Germany and Poland are discussed due to the efficiency of their respective implementations of water conservation policies. Although the general scientific interest in specific issues such as wetlands, climate change, nature conservation and the WFD enjoy a well established position in international environmental research, these four elements are rarely considered together due to the complexity of the processes, biased scenarios of global change and subjective policy background. Major challenges involved in carrying out environmental conservation actions that assess the potential impacts of climate change and management plans on water bodies are identified. The results of this approach are addressed to practitioners in the field of adaptive management in a wetlands context.
