Zusammenfassung:Global climate change increases the areas subject to desertification, the greatest scourge that threatens Earth. One third of the globe is subject of aridity, affecting more than one billion people in 110 countries, including five countries in the European Union, including Romania. In this paper there are presented some modern methods of irrigation, applicable effective in areas threatened by desertification, namely: drip irrigation, with variants wetting the surface and water underground, irrigation by condensation of water vapor existing in the pores of the soil or the atmosphere and the complementary systems for irrigation by condensation, such as systems to optimize the temperature in the root zone of the plants.
