Variability of Rainfall and the Cropping Season of a Tropical Dry Zone River Basin: A Case Study in the Malwathu Oya River Basin in Sri Lanka por Abeysingha, N. S., Madurapperuma Arachchige, S. D., Ray, R. L., Muthuwatta, Lal

“…Standardized anomaly, coefficient of variation (CV), monotonic trends of rainfall and dry days, and the onset and retreat of the cropping season, Maha were computed for the last four decades, and the impacts of climate change were evaluated by checking the differences in the variables before and after the year 2000 using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The annual rainfall of the Malwathu Oya river basin shows a significant increase, primarily contributed by the upstream region. …”

Reducing vulnerability to hydro-meteorological extremes in Africa. A qualitative assessment of national climate disaster management policies: accounting for heterogeneity por Tall, Arame, Patt AG, Fritz, Steffen

“…This paper examines the heterogeneity that exists within Africa′s institutional arrangements for climate-related disaster risk management, and introduces a three-partite policy classification that ranks each country as one of three disaster management policy types: the ‘Unprepared Firefighters′ (whose response to disasters is late, delayed and ineffective), the ‘Prepared Firefighters′ (for the most part effective disaster responders) and the ‘Disaster Averters′ (who experienced a paradigm shift and moved focus away from the hazard itself towards a reduction of the underlying risk factors that cause disasters). …”
