| The Saudis are irrigating the desert with water that will be used up in 50 years. |
| For that purpose, it is necessary to calculate the capital cost of irrigating an acre or hectare of land under a particular crop. |
| The sun beats down, melting the glaciers that feed water into the streams, irrigating settlements and creating oases of willows and poplars. |
| Growers are responsible only for irrigating the crop, making it an attractive alternative for farms with adequate irrigation water. |
| In these areas, 37 tanks used for irrigating farmlands are at just 13 percent of capacity. |
| In addition to planting, fertilizing and irrigating, pasture management includes rotational grazing to prevent overgrazing. |
