Arditi, NessimInforme de la misión llevada a cabo en el Paraguay para hacer una apreciación preliminar de los daños en los sectores económico y social causados por las lluvias y las inundaciones (22-25 junio 1983)

Many types of analysis require rainfall data, which must often be generated to overcome limitations in the historical record. The ability to model outlying rainfall years satisfactorily is particularly important in risk studies. We describe a rainfall generator with this ability, based on a third...

Este informe se realizó en forma conjunta, bajo la orientación de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), con el Departamento Nacional de Planeación (DNP) de Colombia y con el apoyo técnico y financiero del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), como parte de un acuerdo ...


Potato production in Uganda is being affected by rainfall fluctuations in both timing and amount, resulting into inadequate soil moisture availability and low productivity. Also, potato production is expanding into locations at lower altitudes, where drought is more common. Therefore, drought str...

Climate change is posing a serious challenge for developing countries like India. The agriculture sector is one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change. In turn, it is making food security and livelihoods of smallholders, more vulnerable to climate change. This study adopted the IPCC’s i...

In the Gash Delta of Eastern Sudan, spate irrigation (flood-recession farming) contributes substantially to rural livelihoods by providing better yields than rainfed dryland farming. However, spate irrigation farmers are challenged by the unpredictability of flooding. In recent decades, the numbe...

Groundwater contribution to streamflow sustains biodiversity and enhances ecosystem services, especially under monsoon-driven climate where stream baseflow is often the only available water resource during the dry season. We assessed how land use change influences streamflow and its groundwater c...
