The aim of this study is to evaluate the hydrological impacts of climate change on the water balance of Lake Tana in Ethiopia. Impact assessments are by downscaled General Circulation Model (GCM) output and hydrological modeling. For A2 and B2 emission scenarios, precipitation, maximum and minimu...

Under increased scrutiny by its funders, the CGIAR continues to search for ways of translating research excellence into innovation and developmental impact. Several approaches have been suggested that recognize the interactive nature of innovation. While these have been deemed useful, it is the d...

In this Highlight, the impact of metering of electric tube wells on groundwater use in West Bengal, India was quantified. Quantification of impact was made feasible through surveys conducted in 2004 and 2007 and then again a follow-up survey in 2010 by revisiting the same villages and households....


Meenakshi, J.V.Banerji, A.Mukherji, AditiGupta, A.[Impact of metering of tube wells on groundwater use in West Bengal, India.]Impact of metering of tube wells on groundwater use in West Bengal, India.

West Bengal had started a program of metering of agricultural tube wells in 2007. Since then, the state has successfully metered almost 90 percent of its electric tube wells. This comes at a time when most other states in India have steered clear of metering even though universal metering is mand...


Mukherji, AditiDas, A.[How did West Bengal bell the proverbial cat of agricultural metering?: the economics and politics of groundwater.]How did West Bengal bell the proverbial cat of agricultural metering?: the economics and politics of groundwater.

Scores of assessments of the impacts of agricultural research have been carried out over the years. However, few appear to have been used to improve decision making and the effectiveness of research programmes. The Institutional Learning and Change (ILAC) Initiative emerged within the Consultativ...

BACKGROUND In southern Africa, conservation agriculture (CA) has received a lot of research and promotional support from various organizations in the past decades. Conservation agriculture is largely promoted as one of the few win–win technologies affordable to farmers, in the sense that potentia...

This article present a Bayesian probabilistic method to support out-scaling of technologies from pilot projects. The method is applied to aerobic rice, a water-saving technology with probable global potential. The method assumes that areas similar to pilot sites are more likely to adopt than thos...
