节水农业是我国农业发展的必由之路——以色列节水农业发展的启示

通过对以色列节水农业的考察，探讨了适合中国国情的节水农业之路。对比分析了中国半干旱地区与以色列的水资源条件，得出中国必须走节水农业之路。节水农业的目的不仅仅是为了节省用水，更重要的意义在于科学的灌溉可以提高农业生产效率，改善土壤，减少水利工程负担和扩大可种植地面积。节水灌溉必需与耕作栽培等农艺措施相结合，才能有效实施。我国必需尽快改变重水利、轻灌溉，水利与农业分家的状况。

Water Saving Agriculture Is the Only Way of Chinese Agricultural Development: Inspiration From Israeli Water Saving Agriculture

The suitable water saving agriculture in China was discussed through the investigation in Israel. Based on the comparison and analysis of the difference of water resources between Israel and the semiarid region in China, it was concluded that the water saving agriculture should be adopted in China. The purposes of water saving agriculture are not only to save water, but also, and most importantly, to enhance agriculture productivity, to improve soil condition, to reduce the investment of irrigation works, and to expand the area for planting. It is more effective to combine water saving irrigation with agronomy such as tillage and cultivation. The situation should be changed that water conservancy project is more important than irrigation, and that water conservancy and agriculture are treated separately.
