With the construction of the new Renaissance Dam at the Ethiopian Sudan border, reducing sediment load in the Blue Nile is becoming increasingly important. Past attempts of decreasing sediment concentrations have been only partially successful. In this paper, we will examine the temporal distribu...

Evaluation of rain water management practices for sediment load reduction in the (semi) humid Blue Nile basin
Background
Excessive rainwater during the rainy season and lack of water in the dry season have been challenging the agricultural productivity and food security for rural communities in southern Mali. Various soil and water conservation practices were implemented in the past to improve crop yield...

Watershed management practices and hydrological modelling under changing climatic conditions in the semi-arid regions of Mali and Ghana
Soil and water conservation (SWC) practices like that of erosion control and soil fertility measures were commonly practiced in the semiarid region of southern Mali since the 1980s. The SWC practices were mainly meant to increase water availability in the subsurface, reduce farm water runoff and ...

A watershed approach to managing rainfed agriculture in the semiarid region of southern Mali: Integrated research on water and land use
Climate variability and change will have far reaching consequences for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, the
majority of whom depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Crop modelling can help inform the improvement of
agricultural productivity under future climate. This study applies ...

The Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) approach, designed by the University of Reading (UoR), focuses on improving farmers' livelihood and resilience against the effect of climate change. It provides farmers with accurate, locally specific climate and weather inform...
