The inability of CERES-Maize v3.0 to simulate a fluctuating water table has been identified as a major constraint in using this particular model in South Africa and in Kenya. Information regarding fluctuating water tables under specific conditions, and their influence on maize production, has bee...

Proceedings of International Conference on Indicators for Sustainable Forest Management: fostering stakeholder input to advance development of scientifically-based indicators, 24-28 August 1998, Melbourne, Australia
This article discusses the role of forests at different elevations in providing ecosystem services, and particularly water. It analyses the changes in forest management and their consequences over the post liberation period, concentrating on the post-1983 devolution of forest management to villag...

This paper discusses the application of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in the evaluation of the impacts of climate change on hydrological services provided by dry forests and savannah ecosystems in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Preliminary results demonstrate that erratic and intensive ra...

Assessing the impact of climate change on the water balance in semi-arid West Africa: a SWAT application
Asian policymakers need to know how changes in land uses and practices related to forests affect flooding, dry season stream flow, and water quality. Based on their beliefs about these relations, policymakers often ban logging or introduce expensive projects. Many key stakeholders believe that lo...
In the highlands of northern Ethiopia, degraded hillslopes are closed for grazing and agriculture for environmental rehabilitation. In order to assess the effect of these exclosures on water balances, a correct assessment of evapotranspiration is needed. A common method for calculating evapotrans...
