Forest and water relations in miombo woodlands [PDF]
, 2008 Miombo is a significant biome covering about 10% of the African landmass. Climate semi-aridity is the main edaphic determinant. Range of annual rainfall and dry season length is high, but the unimodal rainfall distribution is common for all miombo. Water

Global Challenges, EarlyView.Rainwater harvesting (RWH) has become a hot issue in the present scenario due to intermittent climate change, scanty rainfall, and insufficient surface runoff. Among such, the Konso area in the extreme south of Ethiopia is considered to find effective sites for RWH through multi‐criteria analysis combined with Geographic Information System.

Hydrological degradation of automorphic soils in agricultural landscapes
Dokuchaev Soil Bulletin, 2012 The impoverishment of physical and water properties resulted from the use in agriculture for a long period of time is exemplified by soddy-podzolic, gray soils and chernozems. Alternation of natural (forest, meadow and steppe) coenoses by agrocoenoses leads to degradation of soils, impoverishment of their temperature and water regimes, water supply and
