(Journal of Hydrology; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)The Upper Blue Nile basin is considered as the lifeline for ∼250 million people and contributes ∼50 Gm3/year of water to the Nile River. Poor land management practices in the Ethiopian highlands have caused a significant ...
-
(Feed the Future; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)The rural population in developing countries depends on agriculture. However, in many of these countries, agricultural productivity remains low with episodes of famines in drought-prone areas. One of the options to increase ...
