The impacts of rice cultivation on an indigenous Fogera cattle population at the eastern shore of Lake Tana, Ethiopia
(Ecological Processes, 2019)
BackgroundEven though increasing population pressure and associated increased demand for food and economic development have led to overexploitation and degradation of wetlands throughout the world, the drivers are most ...
Statistical bias correction of regional climate model simulations for climate change projection in the Jemma sub-basin, upper Blue Nile Basin of Ethiopia
(Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2019)
This study evaluates bias correction methods and develops future climate scenarios using the output of a better bias correctiontechnique at the Jemma sub-basin. The performance of different bias correction techniques was ...
Effect of climate change on land suitability for surface irrigation and irrigation potential of the shallow groundwater in Ghana
(Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2019)
Estimating the potential land resources suitable for irrigation and evaluating the possible impact of climate change on land suitability is essential for planning a sustainable agricultural system. This study applied a ...
Scaling-up Conservation Agriculture Production System (CAPS) with Drip Irrigation by Integrating MCE Technique and the APEX Model
(Water, 2019)
The conservation agriculture production system (CAPS) approach with drip irrigation has proven to have the potential to improve water management and food production in Ethiopia. A method of scaling-up crop yield under CAPS ...
Conservation Agriculture Saves Irrigation Water in the Dry Monsoon Phase in the Ethiopian Highlands
(Water, 2019)
Water resources in sub-Saharan Africa are more overstressed than in many other regions of the world. Experiments on commercial farms have shown that conservation agriculture (CA) can save water and improve the soil. ...
Experimental Evaluation of Conservation Agriculture with Drip Irrigation for Water Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Water, 2019)
A field-scale experimental study was conducted in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia and Ghana) to examine the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) with drip irrigation system on water productivity in vegetable home gardens. ...
