This book presents the most recent innovations, trends, concerns and practical challenges, and solutions in the field of water resources for arid areas. It gathers outstanding contributions presented at the International Water Conference on Water Resources in Arid Areas (IWC 2016), which was held in Muscat, Oman in March 2016.

The individual papers discuss challenges and solutions to alleviate water resource scarcity in arid areas, including water resources management, the introduction of modern irrigation systems, natural groundwater recharge, construction of dams for artificial recharge, use of treated wastewater, and desalination technologies. As such, the book provides a platform for the exchange of recent advances in water resources science and research, which are essential to improving the critical water situation

Dr. Osman Abdalla holds BSc (1988) and MSc (1993) in Geology from University of Khartoum and PhD (2000) in Hydrogeology from University of Technology, Berlin. He is the Director of Water Research Center at Sultan Qaboos University since 2012 and associate professor of hydrogeology at the department of Earth sciences, College of Science. His research bridges several areas of physical and chemical hydrogeology in arid areas and intends to develop a solid platform for hydrogeological and environmental research and training of an international standard with emphasis on groundwater recharge and discharge. Dr. Abdalla has established many international and regional collaborations, been awarded over 10 major grants including His Majesty Trust Fund and published several articles in reputable international journals. Dr. Anvar Kacimov. BSc-MSc, PhD (fluid mechanics) from Kazan University, USSR,1982, 1987. Work history: 1982-1998 at Kazan University, Departments of Seepage and Mathematical Analysis. Since 1998 with SQU, Oman as Assistant-Associate-Full Professor, Department of Soils, Water and Agricultural Eng. Administratively: HoD (2007-2012), Director of Water Research Centre (2011-2012), Dean (2012-2015). Areas of interest: fluid, heat and mass transfer through porous media (soils, aquifers, oil formations). Applications: hydroecology, soil physics, irrigation and drainage, hydraulic and hydrologic engineering, groundwater hydrology, fluid mechanics, reservoir engineering. Publications: 128 papers in refereed journals (in English) and 2 co-authored books (in Russian). Selected awards: Omani Green Research Award with a Special Commendation of Mitsubishi Corporation (2010), Best Reviewer of Vadose Zone Journal (2005) and J. of Irrigation and Drainage Eng., ASCE (2013). Dr. Mingjie Chen holds a Bachelor degree in Environmental Engineering from Tsinghua University(1997) and a Master degree in Environmental Sciences from Peking University in China (2000). Dr. Chen got his PhD degree in Environmental Sciences/Hydrogeology at the University of California, Santa Barbara in USA in 2005. During his postdoc research from 2005-2008 at Los Alamos National Laboratory in USA, Dr. Chen developed an innovative intrusive method to quantify uncertainty of multiphase flow and reactive transport in heterogeneous subsurface area. In late 2008, Dr. Chen accepted a research assistant professor position at Tufts University in USA, leading a numerical modeling team in collaboration with a laboratory experimental team to study bio-enhanced PCE-DNAPL dissolution by anaerobic mixed cultures. In the end of 2010, Dr. Chen joined Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in USA as an earth scientist. He is a PI or co-investigator of numerous projects funded by Department of Energy (DOE of USA) on underground fossil energy and radioactive waste. Owing to his excellent performance, Dr. Chen was rewarded Directorate Award by Physical and Life Science Directorate of LLNL in 2013. Since 2014, Dr. Chen has been a senior hydrogeologist (associate professor rank) in Water Research Center at Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, while he still remained an associate role of hydrogeology in LLNL of USA. Dr. Chen is mainly responsible for developing research programs in groundwater resources and geothermal energy using high performance computing. Dr. Chen commits duties of organizing committees of water-related international workshops and conferences, proposal-review panel, and international journal editors. Dr. Ali Al-Maktoumi holds a BSc in Soils and Water (1998) and an MSc in Soils and Water Management from Sultan Qaboos University in Oman (2001). He received a scholarship from Oman government in 2003 to continue with his PhD studies in Environmental Engineering (Water Resources) at the University of Queensland in Australia. After his PhD in 2007, Al-Maktoumi joined the Department of Soils, Wate
