Balancing-out floods and droughts: opportunities to utilize floodwater harvesting and groundwater storage for agricultural developmentin Thailand por Pavelic, Paul, Srisuk, K., Saraphirom, P., Nadee, S., Pholkern, K., Chusanathas, S., Munyou, S., Tangsutthinon, T., Intarasut, T., Smakhtin, Vladimir U.

“…Thailand’s naturally high seasonal endowment of water resources brings with it the regularly experienced problems associated with floods during the wet season and droughts during the dry season. Downstream-focused engineering solutions that address flooding are vital, but do not necessarily capture the potential for basin-scale improvements to water security, food production and livelihood enhancement. …”

Development of a tool for managing groundwater resources in semi-arid hard rock regions: application to a rural watershed in South India por Dewandel, B., Perrin, J., Ahmed, S., Aulong, S., Hrkal, Z., Lachassagne, P., Samad, Madar, Massuel, S.

“…Based on these works, an operational decision support tool (DST-GW ) designed for the management of groundwater resources in hard rock area under variable agro-climatic conditions has been developed. The tool focuses on the impact of changing cropping pattern, artificial recharge and rainfall conditions on groundwater levels at the scale of small watersheds (10 to about 100 km2 in case well-developed weathering profile). …”

Managing salts while irrigating with wastewater por Qadir, Manzoor, Drechsel, Pay

“…As in many developing countries wastewater treatment is insufficient, the water can contain different types and levels of mostly undesirable constituents. In this review, the focus is on elevated salt concentrations from domestic or industrial origin, which can especially in long-term irrigation systems result in environmental and productivity constraints. …”

Agronomic use efficiency of N fertilizer in maize-based systems in sub-Saharan Africa within the context of integrated soil fertility management por Vanlauwe, Bernard, Kihara, Job Maguta, Chivenge, Pauline P., Pypers, Pieter, Coe, R., Six, Johan

“…Since N-AE is low for excessive fertilizer N application rates or when fertilizer is applied on fertile, unresponsive soil, as was confirmed by scatter plots against control yields and fertilizer N application rates, such values were removed from the database in order to focus on and elucidate the more variable and complex responses under less than ideal conditions typical for SSA. …”

Indicators of soil quality: a South-South development of a methdological guide for linking local and technical knowledge por Barrios, E., Delve, Robert J., Bekunda, Mateete A., Mowo, J., Agunda, J, Ramisch, Joshua J., Trejo Tercero, M.T., Thomas, Richard J.

“…This approach uses consensus building to develop practical solutions to soil management constraints identified, as well as to monitor the impact of management strategies implemented to address these constraints. The particular focus on local and technical indicators of agroecosystem change is useful for providing farmers with early warnings about unobservable changes in soil properties before they lead to more serious and visible forms of soil degradation. …”
