Measurements: (a) Evolution of water levels in the tank versus rainfall; b) maximum water extent in tank are after the 2012 monsoon and 08/08/2012, dark red and 2013 monsoon (30/10/2013, light red). (c) Tank area evolution estimated through computed water balance, remote sensing data and GPS tracking. Shaded grey represent the uncertainty.

Spatial variation of grassland canopy affects soil wetting patterns and preferential flow
Spatially heterogeneous canopy and pre‐event soil moisture conditions changed soil‐wetting patterns. Taller grass, together with drier soil, weakens soil moisture response, probably because of uneven water input and dryness induced preferential flow. Abstract Canopies shape net precipitation patterns, which are spatially heterogeneous and control soil ...

A high-resolution map of diffuse groundwater recharge rates for Australia [PDF]
Estimating groundwater recharge rates is important to understand and manage groundwater. Numerous studies have used collated recharge datasets to understand and project regional- or global-scale groundwater recharge rates.

Regional assessment of groundwater recharge in the lower Mekong Basin [PDF]
Groundwater recharge remains almost totally unknown across the Mekong River Basin, hindering the evaluation of groundwater potential for irrigation. A regional regression model was developed to map groundwater recharge across the Lower Mekong Basin where

Microbial community changes induced by Managed Aquifer Recharge activities: linking hydrogeological and biological processes [PDF]
Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a technique used worldwide to increase the availability of water resources. We study how MAR modifies microbial ecosystems and its implications for enhancing biodegradation processes to eventually improve groundwater ...

Local development organisations in Saharan regions of North Africa: Expanding horizons
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.

From wasteland to oasis: Transformative effects of trees on farmland and livelihoods
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 ...
