Smakhtin, Vladimir U.Pavelic, PaulAmarnath, GirirajMcCartney, Matthew P.Campbell, Bruce M.[Managing water variability: floods and droughts]Managing water variability: floods and droughts

The present study was undertaken in Lao PDR to investigate the impacts of organic and clay-based soil amendments on maize yield, total nutrient uptake and crop water productivity (CWP), and analyze the economic return of such interventions. Structured field experiments were established over two c...


Mekuria, Wolde M.Noble, A.D.Hoanh, Chu ThaiMcCartney, Matthew P.Sengtaheuanghoung, OlothSipaseuth, N.Douangsavanh, SomphasithLangan, Simon J.Getnet, Kindie[The potential role of soil amendments in increasing agricultural productivity and improving the livelihood of smallholders in Lao PDR]The potential role of soil amendments in increasing agricultural productivity and improving the livelihood of smallholders in Lao PDR

In the Dry Zone of Myanmar, variability in water resources and insufficient capacity to manage that variability is one of the main causes of food insecurity. Seasonal water scarcity is widely acknowledged to be a key constraint to livelihoods and peoples’ wellbeing. This paper describes analyses ...


Douangsavanh, SomphasithMcCartney, Matthew P.Lacombe, Guillaume[Mapping irrigated areas in the dry zone of Myanmar by differentiating evapotranspiration from irrigated and rain-fed areas [Abstract only]]Mapping irrigated areas in the dry zone of Myanmar by differentiating evapotranspiration from irrigated and rain-fed areas [Abstract only]

Increasing demographic pressure, economic development and resettlement policies in the Lower Mekong Basin induce greater population dependency on river flow to satisfy growing domestic and agricultural water demands. This dependency is particularly tight in upland areas where alternative water re...


Lacombe, GuillaumeDouangsavanh, SomphasithVogel, R.McCartney, Matthew P.Chemin, Yann H.Rebelo, Lisa-MariaSotoukee, Touleelor[Simple power-law models to predict flow metrics for water resource and risk management along the Mekong tributaries. [Abstract only]]Simple power-law models to predict flow metrics for water resource and risk management along the Mekong tributaries. [Abstract only]

Irrigation has been, and will remain, instrumental in addressing water security (Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6), food insecurity (SDG 2) and poverty (SDG 1) goals. However, the global context in which irrigation takes place is changing rapidly. A call for healthier and more sustainable foo...

Zaake, B.McCartney, Matthew P.[Enhancing stakeholder participation in regulation studies of the equatorial lakes]Enhancing stakeholder participation in regulation studies of the equatorial lakes

This study combines climate change (CC), hydrological and water resource evaluation models to assess the impact of one downscaled mid-range CC scenario (A1B) on the performance of existing and planned irrigation and hydropower schemes in the Volta basin. The models were run (1983-2100) to simulat...


Forkuor, GeraldMcCartney, Matthew P.Amisigo, B.[Evaluating the implications of future water resources development under current and projected future climate in the Volta Basin]Evaluating the implications of future water resources development under current and projected future climate in the Volta Basin

The development of water storage schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa is considered a major aid for agricultural regions with scarce water and anticipated climate change impacts. The selection of storage options is often conducted through monetary assessment of direct costs and benefits. Such an approac...
