A contingent valuation of smallholder farmers' willingness to pay for improved irrigation water supply in Egypt

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study employs a double‐bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation experiment to investigate the willingness to pay (WTP) of 313 Egyptian smallholder farmers in the Nile Delta region for improved irrigation services. The results from probit and bivariate probit models reveal an inverse relationship between water price and WTP ...

Insights on Climate Risks to the Central African Forest Ecosystems: An Interdisciplinary Review

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The Congo Basin in Central Africa is home to the second largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon. These forests sequester more carbon than any other tropical forest both in the above‐ground biomass and in the world's largest peat deposits, located in the Cuvette Centrale.

Unveiling farmers’ perceptions: a citizen science and machine learning approach to exploring drivers in the adequacy and fairness of water systems

Environmental Research Communications
Agricultural production sustains a large part of the population in the Great South area (sub-Saharan Africa, South America and South Asia), relying heavily on rainfed agriculture and partly on reservoir-based irrigation schemes.

Exploring Material and Ideational Dimensions in Policy Networks: A Social Network Analysis of Flood Disaster Risk Management in Ghana

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Flood disasters with cascading characteristics traverse decision‐making levels involving a spectrum of actors. Actors involved in Flood Disaster Risk Management (FDRM) form networks to implement related policies. Utilizing an ideational policy network approach, this study contributes knowledge to the role of material and ideational exchanges ...

Wildfire‐Induced Enhancement in Downstream Flood Discharge in Watersheds of California

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Global climate change is increasingly associated with the prevalence of extreme precipitation and large wildfires. The influence of large wildfires on downstream flood discharge is concerning, particularly from a flood risk management perspective, where understanding the impact at a watershed scale is still fairly limited.

Impacts of Continuous Water Diversions by the South‐To‐North Water Diversion Project on Increased Precipitation and Decreased Temperature in Water‐Receiving Areas

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Climate impacts of the South‐to‐North water diversion project in China on water‐receiving areas (WRA) is simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The results show that during the 2015–2022 water diversion period, the WRA experiences increased precipitation and decreased temperature.

Severe Extreme Cold Event in Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei Region Tied to Mid‐High‐Latitude Intraseasonal Waves

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 7, 16 April 2025.
Abstract Extreme cold events (ECEs) have intensified in East Asia over the past decades, disrupting socio‐economic activities and public health. Understanding the mechanism and accurate prediction are crucial yet challenging. This study explores the causes and prediction biases for a severe ECE in Beijing‐Tianjin‐Hebei (BTH) during the 2022 Winter ...
