Assessment of farmers’ adoption of rainwater management technology in the Blue Nile Basin
Men and women interact with water resources and landscapes in different ways, and there are frequent criticisms that little research is undertaken across disciplines to address this issue. Biophysical scientists in particular struggle with how to integrate “gendered” water uses into models that a...
