salinization

It is most noticeable in the country's northern Dashoguz Region, where problems have arisen with the provision of drinking water, the fight against salinization of cultivation lands, land degradation and desertification.

"Sidon depends on supply from groundwater wells, which could pose a risk of salinization if overused," Boustani said.

This results in overall low economic productivity (around US$1 per cubic meter, one of the lowest in the world) and concerns regarding environmental sustainability (for example, contamination and salinization of groundwater aquifers, which pose the greatest threat to long-term groundwater sustainability in Pakistan).

"It is high time that government takes a deeper look into how salinization, land and forest degradation, and other creeping impacts of climate change are baked into the government plans and budgets," Constantino said.

This kind of research will greatly benefit the poor farmers of the Pakistan and other countries, which suffer from land salinization and drought.'

The ministry estimates that by 2050 the productivity of wheat and corn crops will fall by 15 and 19 percent respectively, and that 15 percent of agricultural water will be subject to salinization. Egypt has been trying to benefit from rainwater, which is why the construction of a dam in the basin valleys of Shalatin to harness rainwater was announced in 2017 after necessary studies were finished.

Soil salinization is an increasing problem on a global scale.
