Title: Irrigation and soil salinity in the Indian subcontinent
Description: "High-intensity irrigated agriculture has fed the rising world population but degraded the land resource through water logging and secondary salinization. This book expresses fears about the permanency of irrigated agriculture. In this context, the history of irrigation and accompanying soil degradation in the Indian Subcontinent is unparalleled."--Jacket.
