A study was conducted to determine the net carbon sequestration potential of citrus to mitigate climate change. Perennial crops such as citrus have the potential to absorb and sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, save for the carbon released back through the application of agro-chemical...

There is a fast growing water scarcity problem in Zambia. This problem is already making itself manifest by a lack of agricultural expansion in the more productive areas of Zambia due to the unavailability of water. The Kaleya River catchment, as an example, has a long history of conflicts...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a dominant hydrologic flux in the water budget of semi-arid areas.Thus, accurate estimation of its dynamics in such environments is critical for improvingN water resources management. In this study the physically-based Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model was...

Water is a scarce and a vulnerable resource. The use of water in an environmentally sustainable manner can help achieve global development. This is because an environment with poor water quality is bound to encounter catastrophic problems and subsequently derail global development. 'Shared water...
