A global estimate of the potential for rain-fed agriculture could provide an answer to the question "How much irrigation is required?" Global studies done to date have relied on course resolution climate data (0.5-1 degree arc). In this study a high-resolution climate dataset (10-minute arc) was ...

Multi-level participatory consultative approach for institutional change in river basins: Lessons from the Deduru Oya Case Study in Sri Lanka
The study was on the performance of the decision support system for agrotechnology transfer (DSSAT) and the soil water atmosphere plant (SWAP) under an acid sulphate soil. The comparison of these models was done as a prerequisite to the selection of an appropriate model, which is capable of simul...
