Abstract Longer term monitoring of soil water content at a catchment scale is key to understanding its dynamics, which can assist stakeholders in decision making processes, such as land use change or irrigation programs. Soil agriculturally dominated catchments help developing retention measurements, for assessment change, adaptation specific management systems climate change. The present study...

We created a live, hands-on installation that uses the flow of water as an input medium to control the intuitiv...

Abstract ‘Multiple-use services’ (MUS) takes into account the fact that households use water for both domestic and productive uses. This paper is first to determine how managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are a form of MUS. Two cases were studied in India Kenya. In Kenyan case, sand dams MAR, check infiltration ponds various scales used. Through observations, interviews, quality data, it pos...
