It is generally accepted that sustainable use and management of land resources will only be achieved
by adopting a system of improved land, water and vegetation management. Given that watershed management
is the implementation of management systems that ensure the preservation, conservation and sustainable use
of all land resources. It is through this understanding that watersheds can be managed to protect the natural
resources valued by local and national communities. This study aims to investigate the effect of water
management on soil productivity at Marab Hassan/Jordan. It was found that the salinity in the initial soil
samples (before treatment) were higher than the values for the final analyses reported in final soil samples (after
treatment). Also, it was found that the average height of barley planted in the treated areas was 63 cm, while
the average height of barley planted in the control area was 20 cm. This result is showing that the water
management treatments were very successful in terms of retain water and store more moisture in the soil, so
the barley grow in high rate compare to those have no treatments.
Key words: Barely, Jordan, land resources management, Marab Hassan, watershed management, ,
