Abstract As part of the semi-arid region, Ghana falls within West African Sahel region with high climatic variability and severe droughts, especially in Northern parts. The is characterized as one driest Ghana. It experiences rainy season a year, though agriculture main economic activities. Nanton district consists farming communities. However, there limited availability water for crop watering...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the major food crops in many countries. As the cultivation of rice requires huge volume of water, long term use of arsenic contaminated groundwater for irrigation may result in the increase of arsenic concentration in the agricultural soil and eventually accumulation in rice plants. Thus a micro level study was conducted to investigate the transfer of arsenic fr...

Currently, the legitimate transfer of ownership of an asset occurs either through voluntary means—gift, bequest, sale—or through the use of state power—compulsory acquisition, resumption, eminent domain, court order. In Australia and elsewhere, compulsory acquisition of private property is followed by the payment of compensation, which may be too little or too great. This paper outlines an auct...

Flood irrigation after crop harvest, e.g. autumn (AI), is a common practice in arid and semi-arid regions like Hetao Irrigation District (HID) Northwest China to increase soil moisture leach salt. Detailed information about the extent, timing, amount of AI imperative for modeling agro-hydrological processes management. However, little attention given identification above factors. There are basi...

Groundwater, a special hydrological variable and freshwater resource is completely inter-reliant with hydro-metorological, topographic, land use and hydro-geological components of hydrologic cycle. Trend of hydrologic componentsfor future prediction is attempted to confer in this study using Man-Kendall test, linear regression and geometric progression analysis on recorded data collected from r...
