“…Irrigated agriculture faces serious threats of waterlogging and salinization in arid and semiarid regions of the world, where more than 75 % of the global population live (Boumans et al 1988;Wolde-Kirkos and Chawla 1994;Chowdary et al 2008;Han et al 2011;Singh 2012aSingh , 2015a. The continuous expansion of the irrigation system, seepage from unlined canal networks, percolation from irrigation fields, under-utilization of poor quality groundwater, rolling topography, low-lying areas, inadequate drainage, and poor water management practices are the major factors contributing to this phenomenon (Shah 1988;Brahmabhatt et al 2000;Hillel 2000;Hodgson et al 2002;Alam and Bhutta 2004;Manjunatha et al 2004;Guganesharajah et al 2007;Ritzema et al 2008;Wang et al 2008;Quan et al 2010;Singh 2011).…”

“…Sustainable soil and water management and use of alternative water resources for agricultural production are one of the key elements of the fight against the continuous increase in global population and climate change (Singh 2015). The new water resources play determining role because of the water scarcity in addition to water and energy saving irrigation methods (Francés et al 2017).…”

“…For the sustainable soil management the irrigation water quality has to be prosperous to avoid soil degradation (e.g. salinization) (Singh 2015;Elgallal et al 2016). The scarcity of resources, mainly in Mediterranean and other coastal areas (aggravated by climate change effects and demographic pressures) has boosted the use of non-conventional resources, mainly waste water reuse and desalination, which are a way of increasing water supply (Frances et al 2017).…”
