Remote Sensing for Irrigation Water Management—The State of the Art and Prospects for Near‐Future Operations

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Measuring Organizational Resilience in a Resource‐Constrained Environment: An Empirical Study of Micro‐and‐Small‐Service‐Enterprises (MSSEs) in Nigeria

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is growing evidence that a preponderance of resilience indicators discussed in management scholarship is often developed with limited consideration of the context in which micro‐and‐small‐service enterprises (MSSEs) operate. Given their strategic relevance to developing economies, it thus becomes necessary to understand the meaning of ...
