Climate and irrigation water use of a mountain oasis in Northern Oman

This research paper studies the sustainability of the millennia-old mountain oases of northern Oman. Since there is limitation in information provided on crop growth and water use efficiency of these systems, this research paper fills the gap of knowledge evapotranspiration and water use indices were modeled for nine field crops and date palm at Balad Seet, a typical oasis in the northern Omani Hajar range. A weather station located in the oasis was used to driven climatic data.
