Agricultural water management (AWM) interventions in the Nile Basin are a key to improve agricultural production and productivity. AWM interventions can be categorized based on spatial scales, sources of water and type of technologies for water management in control, lifting, conveyance and appli...

Trends in rainfall series were investigated at 16 stations in Ghana over the period 1960-2005. Time series were first de-correlated using an effective pre-whitening methodology and then submitted to the resamplingbased Mann-Kendall test. Field significances were assessed using the regional averag...

Located on the Bahr el Jebel in South Sudan, the Sudd is one of the largest floodplain wetlands in the world. Seasonal inundation drives the hydrologic, geomorphological, and ecological processes, and the annual flood pulse is essential to the functioning of the Sudd. Despite the importance of th...

This document describes a monitoring instrument for efficiently tracking changes in resilience
in agricultural initiatives.
Operationalizing the concept of resilience (i.e. the ability to withstand change, stresses and shocks)
poses significant challenges for project managers, particularly when r...
