    The project aims to improve the productivity of degraded rangelands through efficient utilization of limited rainfall. Nearly 48% of farmers in the Muhareb community own flocks, with an average flock size of about 159 head. About 52% of farmers in Um Al Naám own flocks, with an average of 125 head; about 63% of farmers in Muhareb community own a small flock (average 28 head), or a medium flock size (30%, average 293 head), or a large flock (7%, average 751 head. However, about 72% of farmers in Um Al Naám own a small flock, with an average flock size of 36 head.

    Jordan, Western Asia

    The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate to sustain reliable crop production. Most of the arid and semi-arid zones of the CWANA region are rangelands and are characterized by wide variability in rainfall and temperature. Droughts are common, resulting in low forage production and crop productivity as well as water scarcity.

    The goal of WLI is to improve the livelihoods of rural
    households and communities in areas where water
    scarcity, land degradation, water quality deterioration,
    food security and health problems are prevalent in eight
    participating countries including Egypt, Iraq, Jordan,
    Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen. The main
    objective is to develop and pilot test integrated water and
    land management strategies.

    The objective of this study was to model and analyze the influence Vallerani rainwater
    harvesting (RWH) structures have on the soil moisture dynamics in the Jordanian Badia
    and to test viability of these structures when influenced by climate change. HYDRUS-2D
    was used for the modelling. A three-month fieldwork was performed to set up and
    calibrate the model. The results show that most of the soil moisture is located
    underneath the furrow of the Vallerani RWH structures. The impact on water availability
