Assessing the effect of soil and water conservation (SWC) practices on hydrological responses and soil erosion processes in Manafwa sub watershed using the event based OpenLISEM Model.
For the last five decades, Mount Elgon region has experienced rapid population growth and expansion of arable land by increasing park encroachment. This has accelerated reoccurrence of soil erosion landslides in the Manafwa waters ...

Advanced subsurface irrigation system using rockwool
The use of modern irrigation technologies allow us to apply the exact amount of water (and nutrients) required by the plants. However, most of the farmer still use old and inefficient systems. This project aim to develop a new and ...

Microplastics in green spaces: local spatial distribution
Introduction Microplastics are causing a high degree of concern worldwide, since they are poorly controlled. This pollutant has been studied in aquatic environments, especially marine. However, there are few studies involving m ...

Irrigation and land use management to ensure resilience under drought and scarcity risks
Introduction In southern Europe, the economic and environmental sustainability of agriculture is highly dependent on adequate land and water management. Hydrological conditions of the soil and irrigation processes are thus key ...

Climate change adaptation options for Mediterranean irrigated croplands
Introduction In the Mediterranean region, intensive agriculture is usually associated with irrigation due to the mismatch between the rain season and the growing season, and the strong inter-annual variability of rainfall. Clim ...

Soil texture determination: comparison of different methods
The classical soil texture determination is done by sieving and sedimentation analysis. As a large part of the scientific literature in which soil texture is related to soil functioning is based on soil texture as measured with th ...

Assessing the effectiveness of climate change adaptation strategies on soil erosion
Many studies show that soil erosion will increase under climate change, because of the expected increase in extreme precipitation. Adaptation strategies are needed to prevent wide-scale land degradation of agricultural fields, but ...

Analysis of near future demands for sprinkling irrigation in Brabant
Groundwater levels in parts of Brabant are declining, which affects brooks and nature reserves. In this research satellite data and soil moisture measurements are combined to analyse the regional groundwater systems. An important ...

The Argentina case: land use drives groundwater and flooding issues
During the latest years Argentina is hit by floods which cannot be explained by climate change alone. Analyses at a national scale indicate land use changes as a main contributor to increasing groundwater levels. Research has a fo ...
