A geo-informatics approach for estimating water resources management components and their interrelationships
A remote sensing based geo-informatics approach was developed to estimate water resources management (WRM) components across a large irrigation scheme in the Indus Basin of Pakistan. The approach provides a generalized ...
Farmers’ perception on climate change, their vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change, and their adaptation strategies
The effects of climate change vary across regions, households, individuals and farming systems, and so do farmers’ adaptation strategies. In the Amhara region, little is known about how climate change affects rainfed ...
Nitrogen Management in Calcareous Soils: Problems and Solutions
Nitrogen (N) is the most widely applied plant nutrient and is a key constituent of animal manures. Improvement in crop
yields and high economic returns have been made possible through supplementation of crops with organic ...
Reducing land degradation and farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the highland dry areas of north-western Ethiopia inception workshop agenda
Reducing land degradation and farmers’ vulnerability to climate change in the highland dry areas of north-western Ethiopia inception workshop agenda.
Intensification strategies for Ethiopian Watershed: Incentives, Niches and Policy Implication
This presentation of ICRISSAT explains the difference in perception about watershed management under changing climates; Showing different case study examples
A SWAT modeling approach to assess the impact of climate change on consumptive water use in Lower Chenab Canal area of Indus basin
Accurate assessment of spatio-temporal variations of consumptive water use (CWU) in large
irrigation schemes is crucial for several hydrological applications. This study is designed to evaluate
the impact of climate change ...
Analysis of the impact of land management options in tackling land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa: example study based on longterm remote sensing and climate data
Tackling land degradation and restoring degraded landscapes requires information on areas
of priority intervention, since it is not economically and technically possible to manage all
areas affected. Recent developments ...
Managing Scarce Water Resources in Agriculture; Towards a paradigm change
Water scarcity intensifying as many countries with chronic water scarcity, in addition the water for agriculture in dry areas is declining and Climate change adds to the problem.
A new concept of irrigation response units for effective management of surface and groundwater resources: a case study from the multi‑country Fergana Valley, Central Asia
When estimating canal water supplies for largescale irrigation schemes and especially in arid regions
worldwide, the impact of all factors affecting the gross
irrigation requirements (GIR) are not properly accounted
for, ...
Adaptive Policy Responses to Climate Change Scenarios in the Musi Catchment, India
In India the stresses on water resource systems have increased, due in part to increased demand for scarce water supplies. Yet, what could be of greater concern is the potential long-run threats of climate change affecting ...
