Rainfall-discharge relationships for monsoonal climates por Steenhuis, Tammo S., Taylor, J., Easton, Z.M., Collick, A., Giesen, Nick van de, Liebe, Jens R., Ahmed, A.A., Andreini, Marc

“…Water balance models have been shown to better predict river discharge in regions with monsoonal climates than alternative methods based on the United States Department of Agriculture-Soil Conservation Service (USDA-SCS) curve number. The latter is an empirical-based model developed in the USA that does not apply to monsoonal climates with distinct dry and wet periods.…”

Ecosystem health and sustainable agricultural development in Ihemi cluster por Sirima, A., Kadigi, R.M.J., Kashaigili, Japhet J., Kamau, F., Sikira, A., Mbungu, W., Placid, J.K.

“…The process of agricultural intensification is associated with an increase in labour inputs, increase use of natural and artificial fertilizer, use of improved seeds, change in technologies, change in agricultural mechanization & frequency of cultivation, changes to the landscape such as irrigation or soil conservation measures. The agricultural inputs, for instance, have altered the key-hydrological processes of rivers, lakes, floodplains and groundwater-fed wetlands, damaging their ecosystems and services that they provide. …”
