McCartney, Matthew P.[Large dams and integrated water resources management, with reference to the Kafue Hydroelectric Scheme]Large dams and integrated water resources management, with reference to the Kafue Hydroelectric Scheme

This paper investigates the water resources implications of using a method of hydrological control to reduce malaria around the Koka reservoir in central Ethiopia. This method is based on recent ndings that malaria is transmitted from the shoreline of the Koka reservoir, and on a similar method t...


Reis, J.Culver, T.B.McCartney, Matthew P.Lautze, JonathanKibret, S.[Water resources implications of integrating malaria control into the operation of an Ethiopian dam]Water resources implications of integrating malaria control into the operation of an Ethiopian dam

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), are high on the agenda for most countries of the world. In its publication of the SDGs, the UN has provided the goals and target descriptions that, if implemented at a country level, would lead towards a sustai...


Dickens, ChrisSmakhtin, V.McCartney, Matthew P.O'Brien, G.Dahir, L.[Defining and quantifying national-level targets, indicators and benchmarks for management of natural resources to achieve the sustainable development goals]Defining and quantifying national-level targets, indicators and benchmarks for management of natural resources to achieve the sustainable development goals

The diversity of small-scale irrigation in the Ethiopian Blue Nile basin comprises small dams, wells, ponds and river diversion. The diversity of irrigation infrastructure is partly a consequence of the topographic heterogeneity of the Fogera plains. Despite similar social-political conditions an...


Eguavoen, I.Derib, S.D.Deneke, T.T.McCartney, Matthew P.Otto, B. A.Billa, S.S.[Digging, damming or diverting?: small-scale irrigation in the Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia.]Digging, damming or diverting?: small-scale irrigation in the Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia.
Mekuria, Wolde M.Noble, A.D.Sengtaheuanghoung, OlothHoanh, Chu ThaiBossio, Deborah A.Sipaseuth, NivongMcCartney, Matthew P.Lagan, Simon[Organic and clay-based soil amendments increase maize yield, total nutrient uptake, and soil properties in Lao PDR]Organic and clay-based soil amendments increase maize yield, total nutrient uptake, and soil properties in Lao PDR

The development of water storage schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is considered a major aid for those regions with unequal water distribution, limited accessibility and anticipated climate change impacts. Great attention is given by many SSA countries to set up different water storage schemes ...


Xenarios, StefanosPolatidis, H.McCartney, Matthew P.Nemes, A.[Developing a user-based decision-aid framework for water storage systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: the sase of Blue Nile Basin in Ethiopia]Developing a user-based decision-aid framework for water storage systems in Sub-Saharan Africa: the sase of Blue Nile Basin in Ethiopia

The aim of the study was to identify entomological determinants of increased malaria transmission in the vicinity of the Koka reservoir in Central Ethiopia. Larval and adult mosquitoes were collected between August 2006 and December 2007 in villages close to (<1 km) and farther away from (>6 km) ...


Kibret, SolomonLautze, JonathanBoelee, ElineMcCartney, Matthew P.[How does an Ethiopian dam increase malaria?: entomological determinants around the Koka Reservoir.]How does an Ethiopian dam increase malaria?: entomological determinants around the Koka Reservoir.

West and East Africa experience high variability of rainfall that is expected to increase with climate change. This results in fluctuations in water availability for food production and other socioeconomic activities. Water harvesting and storage can mitigate the adverse effects of rainfall varia...


Boelee, ElineYohannes, M.Poda, Jean-NoelMcCartney, Matthew P.Cecchi, PhilippeKibret, S.Hagos, FitsumLaamrani, Hammou[Options for water storage and rainwater harvesting to improve health and resilience against climate change in Africa]Options for water storage and rainwater harvesting to improve health and resilience against climate change in Africa

Ethiopia's policy of large dam construction in the Blue Nile River basin is evaluated by simulating the impact of one downscaled midrange climate change scenario (A1B) on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes. The simulation finds that by 2100: 1) average basin...


McCartney, Matthew P.Girma, Michael M.[Evaluating the downstream implications of planned water resource development in the Ethiopian portion of the Blue Nile River.]Evaluating the downstream implications of planned water resource development in the Ethiopian portion of the Blue Nile River.

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 resampling-based Mann-Kendall test. Field significances were assessed using the regional avera...
