“…The authors attributed such an EC e trend to the use of saline water for irrigation, which was exacerbated by inadequate subsurface drainage. On the other hand, the EC e trend in WMDS was consistent with the EC e trend reported by Benyamini et al (2005) in the lower Galilee in the northern part of Israel. Benyamini et al (2005) recommended for increased leaching requirement, in order to prevent further accumulation of salts within the root zone depth.…”

“…It is proved again that the PSR framework not only has a systematic way to select parameters for irrigation salinity risk assessment and mapping but also helps to describe the threating problem for regional sustainability across the full spectrum rather a few individual parameters that only explains a portion of the issue (Table 4) [14,17,19,21,65]. However, using the PSR framework for risk index development has some limitations as well, over simplification may fail to indicate how the mechanism between parameters in real multi-level problems [66].…”

Irrigation salinity is a common environmental threat for sustainable development in the Keriya Oasis, arid Northwest China. It is mainly caused by unreasonable land management and excessive irrigation. The aim of this study was to assess and map the salinity risk distribution by developing a composite risk index (CRI) for seventeen risk parameters from traditional and scientific fields, based on maximizing deviation method and analytic hierarchy process, the grey relational analysis and the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) sustainability framework. The results demonstrated that the northern part of the Shewol and Yeghebagh village has a very high salinity risk, which might be caused by flat and low terrain, high subsoil total soluble salt, high groundwater salinity and shallow groundwater depth. In contrast, the southern part of the Oasis has a low risk of salinity because of high elevation, proper drainage conditions and a suitable groundwater table. This achievement has shown that southern parts of the Oasis are suitable for irrigation agriculture; for the northern area, there is no economically feasible solution but other areas at higher risk can be restored by artificial measures. Therefore, this study provides policy makers with baseline data for restoring the soil salinity within the Oasis.

“…The mitigation and control of soil salinity is one of the main challenges in the agriculture of the 21st century, particularly, where irrigation is used (Amezketa 2006). This requires accurate quantification, mapping and monitoring of soil salinization (Herrero and Pérez-Coveta 2005;Benyamini et al 2005;Wang 1998). …”

Soil salinization is an important worldwide environmental problem, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Knowledge of its temporal and spatial variability is crucial for the management of oasis agriculture. The study area has experienced dramatic change in the shallow groundwater table and soil salinization during the 20th century, especially in the past two decades. Classical statistics, geostatistics and geographic information system (GIS) were applied to estimate the spatial variability of the soil salt content in relation to the shallow groundwater table and land use from 1983 to 2005. Consumption of reservoir water for agricultural irrigation was the main cause of a rise in the shallow groundwater table under intense evapotranspiration conditions, and this led indirectly to soil salinization. The area of soil salt accumulation was greater in irrigated than in non-irrigated landscape types with an increasing of 40.04% from 1983 to 2005 in cropland at approximately 0.43 t ha(-1) year(-1), and an increase at approximately 0.68 t ha(-1) year(-1) in saline alkaline land. Maps of the shallow groundwater table in 1985 and 2000 were used to deduce maps for 1983 and 1999, respectively, and the registration accuracy was 99%.
