Local development organisations in Saharan regions of North Africa: Expanding horizons
Journal of International Development, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 79-96, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Local development organisations are now widespread in rural regions of North Africa. In the past, these organisations were usually only involved in a few sector‐specific activities. This study investigated the activities of 24 local development organisations in the Saharan regions of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.

Bayesian Poroelastic Aquifer Characterization from InSAR Surface Deformation Data. Part I: Maximum A Posteriori Estimate [PDF]
, 2020 Characterizing the properties of groundwater aquifers is essential for predicting aquifer response and managing groundwater resources. In this work, we develop a high-dimensional scalable Bayesian inversion framework governed by a three-dimensional quasi-static linear poroelastic model to characterize lateral permeability variations in groundwater ...

Estimation of aquifer lower layer hydraulic conductivity values through base flow hydrograph rising limb analysis [PDF]
, 2010 The estimation of catchment-averaged aquifer hydraulic conductivity values is usually performed through a base flow recession analysis. Relationships between the first time derivatives of the base flow and the base flow values themselves, derived for ...

From wasteland to oasis: Transformative effects of trees on farmland and livelihoods
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 33, Issue 18, Page 3773-3785, December 2022., 2022 Abstract In face of today's alarming trend of resource degradation and reversal of poverty reduction, path‐breaking strategies are needed. However, there is limited evidence to inform the design of policies. We scrutinized an agricultural development program that follows a holistic approach and includes the cultivation of fruit trees, to tackle this ...

Anthropogenic depletion of Iran’s aquifers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 Significance Iran is facing a state of water bankruptcy that threatens its socioeconomic development and natural environments. Using an exceptionally rich measured groundwater dataset, we illustrate the extent and severity of Iran’s groundwater depletion and salinization problems during the 2002 to 2015 period, when the number of
