Vegetation density assessment in the Upper Molopo River Catchment, South Africa
In arid and semi-arid environments like the rest parts of South Africa, the state of vegetation density in catchments is an important indicator of the state of the environment. Climate variability coupled with different anthropogenic activities could affect vegetation cover at varying levels. The Upper Molopo River Catchment (UMRC) in the North West Province of South Africa is under this combin...
متن کاملAssessing Catchment Resilience Using Entropy Associated with Mean Annual Runoff for the Upper Vaal Catchment in South Africa
The importance of the mean annual runoff (MAR)-hydrological variable is paramount for catchment planning, development and management. MAR depicts the amount of uncertainty or chaos (implicitly information content) of the catchment. The uncertainty associated with MAR of quaternary catchments (QCs) in the Upper Vaal catchment of South Africa has been quantified through Shannon entropy. As a resu...
متن کاملFood insecurity of smallholder farming systems in B72A catchment in the Olifants River Basin, South Africa
Traditional smallholder farming systems are characterized by low yields and high risks of crop failure and food insecurity. Through a biophysical model, PARCHED-THIRST and a socio-economic farming systems simulation model, OLYMPE, we evaluated the performance of farming practices based on maize yield, gross margin and total family balance over a 10-year period in semi-arid Olifants River Basin ...
متن کاملDown-scaling of Sebal Derived Evapotranspiration Maps
10 11 The major problem with high spatial resolution satellite images from Landsat 7 is that 12 imagery is not available very often (i.e. every 16 days or longer) and the coverage area is 13 relatively small (swath width 185km), while images of lower spatial resolution from MODIS are 14 available daily and one image covers a relatively large area (swath width 2,330km). This paper 15 considers t...
متن کاملAssessing interannual variability of evapotranspiration at the catchment scale using satellite‐based evapotranspiration data sets
[1] The catchment water‐energy balance at the interannual scale remains a challenge for bridging the important gap in our knowledge of the hydrologic cycle. This study investigates interannual evapotranspiration (ET) variability and water‐energy balance at over 547 catchments across the contiguous United States in different climate zones. The investigation is based on ET data estimated from sat...
