Suitability mapping framework for solar photovoltaic pumps for smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa
(Applied Geography, 2018)
As solar panels become more affordable, solar photovoltaic (PV) pumps have been identified as a high potential water-lifting technology to meet the growing irrigation demand in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). However, little is ...
Performance of bias corrected MPEG rainfall estimate for rainfall-runoff simulation in the upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Journal of Hydrology,, 2018)
In many developing countries and remote areas of important ecosystems, good quality precipitation data are neither available nor readily accessible. Satellite observations and processing algorithms are being extensively ...
Modeling the Impacts of Conservation Agriculture with a Drip Irrigation System on the Hydrology and Water Management in Sub-Saharan Africa
(MDPI, 2018)
The agricultural system in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is dominated by traditional farming practices with poor soil and water management, which contributes to soil degradation and low crop productivity. This study integrated ...
The impact of future climate and land use/cover change on water resources in the Ndembera watershed and their mitigation and adaptation strategies
(Environmental Systems Research, 2018)
Land use/cover and climate changes have a great influence on the hydrological processes in the watershed. The impacts of land use/cover and climate change are set to increase in the future due to the increased clearance ...
Impact of Climate Change on Streamflow Hydrology in Headwater Catchments of the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Water, 2018)
This study assessed the impact of climate change on water availability and variability in two subbasins in the upper Blue Nile basin of Ethiopia. Downscaled future climate data from HadCM3 of A2 (medium-high) and B2 ...
Uncertainty in a Lumped and a Semi-Distributed Model for Discharge Prediction in Ghatshila Catchment
(Water, 2018)
Hydrologic simulations of different models have direct impact on the accuracy of discharge prediction because of the diverse model structure. This study is an attempt to comprehend the uncertainty in discharge prediction ...
Insights From a Multi-Method Recharge: Estimation Comparison Study
(Groundwater, 2018)
Although most recharge estimation studies apply multiple methods to identify the possible range in recharge values, many donot distinguish clearly enough between inherent uncertainty of the methods and other factors affecting ...
Evaluation of regional climate models performance in simulating rainfall climatology of Jemma sub-basin, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia
(Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans, 2018)
This study examines the performance of 10 Regional Climate Model (RCM) outputs which are dynamically downscaled from the fifth phase of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project (CMIP5) GCMs using different RCMs parameterization ...
Evaluating hydrologic responses to soil characteristics using SWAT model in a paired-watersheds in the Upper Blue Nile Basin
(CATENA, 2018)
Watershed responses are affected by the watershed characteristics and rainfall events. The characteristics of soil layers are among the fundamental characteristics of a watershed and they are input to hydrologic modeling ...
Watershed modeling for reducing future non-point source sediment and phosphorus load in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia
(Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2018)
Agricultural intensification to meet the food needs of the rapidly growing population in developing countries affects water quality. In regions such as the Lake Tana basin, knowledge is lacking on measures to reduce non-point ...
