Water Resource Management

, 2023
Abstract: People from different backgrounds seldom have the same idea about what water resources management implies. To those living in an arid country, it means drought relief, irrigation, food, jobs, law, and politics. Generally, there is an emphasis on groundwater.

IPA (v1): a framework for agent-based modelling of soil water movement [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2018
In the last decade, agent-based modelling (ABM) became a popular modelling technique in social sciences, medicine, biology, and ecology. ABM was designed to simulate systems that are highly dynamic and sensitive to small variations in their ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Assessment of Forty-Five Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea) Accessions Under Varying Environments in Kenya Using Morphological and Yield Components

International Journal of Agronomy
Understanding the agromorphological diversity of Bambara groundnut is crucial in enhancing its adaptability and productivity in Kenya, where production is localized to a few areas.

Modeling the spatio-temporal flow dynamics of groundwater-surface water interactions of the Lake Tana Basin, Upper Blue Nile, Ethiopia

Hydrology Research, 2020
The Ethiopian government has selected Lake Tana basin as a development corridor due to its water resources potential. However, combined use of groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) is still inadequate due to knowledge gaps about the flow dynamics of GW

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Applications of Bayesian Networks as Decision Support Tools for Water Resource Management under Climate Change and Socio-Economic Stressors: A Critical Appraisal

Water, 2019
Bayesian networks (BNs) are widely implemented as graphical decision support tools which use probability inferences to generate “what if?” and “which is best?” analyses of potential management options for water resource management, under climate change ...

Ergothioneine supplementation improves pup phenotype and survival in a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic disease affecting motor neurons. Individuals with SMA experience mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of an antioxidant and neuroprotective substance, ergothioneine (ERGO), on an SMNΔ7 mouse model of SMA.

Re-suspension of bed sediment in a small stream – results from two flushing experiments [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014
Streams draining small watersheds often exhibit multiple peaking sedigraphs associated with single peaking hydrographs. The process reasons of the multiple sediment peaks are not fully understood but they may be related to the activation of different ...
