This paper applies the principles of water-use accounts, developed in the first of the
series, to the São Francisco basin in South America. The São Francisco Basin lies wholly
within Brazil. There are several major dams and wetlands in the Basin.
Net runoff is about 16% of total precipitation. Gr...

Livestock systems globally are changing rapidly in response to human population growth, urbanization, and growing incomes. This paper discusses the linkages between burgeoning demand for livestock products, growth in livestock production, and the impacts this may have on natural resources, and ho...

This discussion paper proposes some strategic directions for CIFOR on the theme of Forests and Water, principally in the context of the CGIAR Global Challenge Program on Water and Food. Within this program, CIFOR may have a comparative research advantage on issues of governance systems; the links...
Discusses water requirements & intake and renal physiology in cattle, esp. those kept by Borana pastoralists in Ethiopia, in relation to some of the issues raised by JEPSS Research Memorandum no. 1.
This paper looks at the applicability of three management oriented simulation models that are being evaluated by the environmental Sciences Division at ILCA. Basically the three models (CERES-maize NITROSIM and SCUAF) have been designed to simulate crop growth and development and crop yields, as ...
