Assessment of Climate Change and Its Impact on Water Resources: Case of Tafna Basin–North West of Algeria
(2018)
Water resources could become scarcer in future decades worldwide. This will significantly affect semi-arid to arid climatic regions. The rapid evolution population, industrial development, and the expansion of agriculture ...
Impact of Climate Change on Groundwater Resources of the Atankwidi Basin in Ghana, West Africa
(2018)
The Atankwidi basin is a sub-basin of the Volta River basin, which is located in West Africa. It is a transboundary basin shared by Ghana and Burkina Faso and has a drainage area of about 286 km2. The basin dwellers depend ...
Evaluating Water Security in a Challenging Environment: Case Study of Oti Nord Sub Basin in Togo
(2018)
Water shortage across the globe has increased due to climate change among other factors with highly projected impacts expected at river basin level. Anticipating these impacts will help act on time to avoid future water ...
Study of the Feasibility of Water Reuse for Agriculture as an Adaptation Measure to Climate Change: A Case Study of Ain Temouchent, Algeria
(2018)
The scarcity of conventional water resources represents for Algeria, because of its Mediterranean climate arid to semi-arid, a major concern. The global water potential of Algeria does not exceed 13.2 billion m3 of water, ...
Scanning Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources of the Largest African River Basins
(2018)
The objectives were to ensemble and analyze the projected signals of climate change recently published in peer reviewed outlets with respect to five African river basins, viz. Nile, Senegal & Volta, Niger, Congo, and Zambezi ...
Barriers to and Determinants of the Choice of Crop Management Strategies to Combat Climate Change in Dejen District, Nile Basin of Ethiopia
(2018)
Climate change without adaptation is projected to impact strongly the livelihoods of the rural communities. Adaptation to climate change is crucial for developing country like Ethiopia due to high population and dependency ...
Climate and Land-cover Change in Dryland-Catchments, and their Effect on Spate-hydrology of Farming Community in Semi-arid Lowlands of Raya-Valley, Northern Ethiopia
(2018)
Spate-irrigation, a system foreseen as a potential means of improving agricultural production in rainfall deficit lowlands, is profoundly threatened by climate and land-cover change upstream. Yet, the actual implications ...
Study of Impact of Climate Change on Surface Water Through Hydrological Modeling: Case of Dano Catchment in Burkina-Faso
(2018)
Climate change is one of the most complex and sensitive issues at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In Burkina Faso, a Sahel country, the problem of water resources is closely linked to rainfall, which is both low ...
Hydrological Modeling and Climate Change Impacts on River Kuja Basin Using HEC-HMS and HEC-GeoHMS Models
(2018)
Climate change is real and the effects directly influence the general hydrology of a region. The assessment of these effects still remains an uncertainty owing to the fact that modeling of hydrological reactions is a factor ...
Combating Climate Change and Land Degradation in the West African Sahel: A Multi-Country Study of Mali, Niger and Senegal
(2018)
The West African Sahel is a vast ecological zone separating the Sahara desert to the north and Sudanian savannah to the south; traversing Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, northern Nigeria and Chad. With a population ...
