Adoption of rainwater harvesting as a sustainable approach to improving the climate resilience of small landholders in Kenya

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 4, Page 913-928, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The African Water Vision 2025 emphasized the disadvantages of the rural population in the context of water supply infrastructure, water management, and access. The vision extolled the virtues of providing improved decentralized governance and localized actions to deliver on this agenda.

Seasonality of reproduction in an ever‐wet lowland tropical forest in Amazonian Ecuador

Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Flowering and fruiting phenology have been infrequently studied in the ever‐wet hyperdiverse lowland forests of northwestern equatorial Amazonía. These Neotropical forests are typically called aseasonal with reference to climate because they are ever‐wet, and it is often assumed they are also aseasonal with respect to phenology.

Groundwater mapping and locally engaged water governance in a small island terrain: Case study of Karainagar island, Northern Sri Lanka

World Water Policy, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 456-480, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Groundwater is a vital resource under threat in island communities. Karainagar, a 22 km2 island, is one of seven islands off the coast of Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka, with its population of just about 11,000 persons, experiences seasonal water shortage, and salinity in groundwater as twin threats impacting on their lives.

Rainy years counteract negative effects of drought on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity: Resilience in annual plant communities

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 2308-2320, October 2022., 2022
Our results provide important insights into the responses of semiarid annual plant communities under a climate change scenario. Experimental rain exclusion consistently decreased diversity (taxonomic and functional) but to a lesser extent than interannual rain patterns, that result in deep diversity losses during drought events but rapid recovery in ...

Indirect effects of African megaherbivore conservation on bat diversity in the world's oldest desert

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract In extreme environments, temperature and precipitation are often the main forces responsible for structuring ecological communities and species distributions. The role of biotic interactions is typically thought to be minimal. By clustering around rare and isolated features, like surface water, however, effects of herbivory by desert‐dwelling ...

Tratamiento de agua lluvia con fines de consumo humano

Ciencia e Ingeniería Neogranadina, 2020
El agua lluvia es un recurso natural renovable que posee bajos índices de contaminación. En zonas rurales, el acceso al agua potable puede convertirse en una actividad poco factible. Por esta razón, la implementación de un sistema autosostenible donde el agua lluvia pueda ser tratada surge como una alternativa para evitar problemas relacionados con el ...
