Download or read book Ecosystem Services for Urban Water Security written by Blal Adem Esmail and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the challenges of urban water security and adaptive management in Sub-Saharan Africa, exploring and interlinking novel concepts of ecosystems services, watershed investments, and boundary work. Specifically, the book’s goals are to (i) present a conceptual framework for the urban water sector from an ecosystem services perspective, highlighting the specificities of the Sub-Saharan context; (ii) develop an operational approach to designing and assessing the impacts of watershed investments, based on ecosystem services and boundary work; and (iii) test the approach through a case study in Asmara, Eritrea, and discuss the findings and lessons learned that can be applied in other contexts. Through a fully worked out case study, from identification of water challenges and opportunities to spatially explicit modelling, the book offers a sound and accessible, coverage of issues and proposed solutions to better operationalize ecosystem services, watershed investments and boundary work, to promote adaptive management, and achieve water security in the context of rapidly developing cities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The book is an effective tool for capacity building of diverse stakeholders on the urban water sector, including water managers, local and national policy-makers as well as a suitable resource for both undergraduate and post-graduate courses in planning and geography.

Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of the Horn of Africa written by Paolo Billi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on regions for which until now the geomorphology was very poorly studied and relatively unknown. Nevertheless, the landforms and landscapes of the Horn of Africa are highly attractive, diverse and in a few cases unique, since they span very different environments, from highland plateaus and mountains to lowlands (even below sea level) and coastlines with a high degree of diversity and from monsoon to arid climate conditions. The main topics addressed in the book include the links between the geological evolution and the current large scale geomorphology of the Horn of Africa; the large differences between the highlands and lowlands climate, river hydrology and their variation through time within a climate change perspective. This part of the world was home of the very first hominids. The landscape in which they lived and evolved throughout the Pleistocene is described in comparison with the arid and inhospitable, though immensely scenic, environment of today. Perennial and ephemeral rivers with very different morphology, processes, and hydrology drain the area, and, in combination with the past and recent uplift, substantially contributed to provide the region with peculiar landscapes and landforms. Long lasting weathering and erosion processes result in a typical inselberg landscape such as the Bur region, or the currently exposed flatland of old peneplain surfaces. Their changes through time, induced by both natural and anthropogenic factors, are addressed by a couple of case studies. Though the region has few inhabitants, they had to struggle to find their livelihood in a land that offers poor resources. This resulted in landscape change and land degradation. Examples of human impact on the landscape are presented at different scales. This book provides readers interested in geography and geomorphology with essential scientific and educational information on the Landscapes and Landforms of Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia through simple, though scientifically, rigorous texts illustrated with several color maps and photos. One main prerogative of this book is therefore to give an insight into a region of the world where, for geographical and historical constraints, geomorphological investigation was very limited, thus enriching its intrinsic informative value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spate irrigation has been practised over 100 years in the Red Sea coastal zone of Eritrea such as the Sheeb area. Main problem of the spate irrigation system is water shortage caused by irregular rainfall in the highlands of Eritrea and breaching of the irrigation structures by destructive big floods. Annually, a tremendous amount of soil with nutrients is eroded from the adjacent highlands, transported by seasonal streams (wadis) and deposited on the lowlands in the irrigated fields. The dominant types of soils of Sheeb area are the Fluvisols, which have good physical and chemical properties. The annual sedimentation on the spate fields enables the farmers to harvest a crop without application of fertilisers. A nutrient balance study revealed no soil mining in the spate fields. Farmers in Sheeb could obtain a more uniform water distribution over their fields with better levelling. Of the total area of Sheeb (8,000 ha), about 3,160 ha of land was classified as highly and moderately suitable for spate irrigation. When the flood diversion structures (at wadis Laba and Maiule) are made more permanent, an additional 2, 000 ha of land can be irrigated. In general, spate irrigation production system is a 'cost effective' system if the irrigation structures are properly maintained at low cost and if the fields receive enough water and nutrients.

This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO Eritrea, in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture is implementing the national component of a global project entitled “Developing capacity in Agriculture Innovation System project: Scaling up the Tropical Agriculture Platform Framework”. The project aims to strengthen capacities to innovate for climate resilient agriculture and food system. One of the key activities of the project is the assessment of the Agricultural Innovation System (AIS) in Eritrea The assessment had the objectives to: identify critical gaps, needs, opportunities, and good practices to formulate workable recommendations aiming at strengthening and making AIS more effective; and develop an understanding of AIS and how it functions and supports climate-relevant transformation of agriculture and food systems. This report presents the main findings of the AIS assessment in Eritrea. The study identified major bottlenecks and entry points for strengthening AIS as well as inform policy and decision makers on AIS performance and made recommendations for its improvement.

Book excerpt: This book explores government intervention measures in soil and water conservation (SWC) in a dryland region around the town of Kassala, eastern Sudan. The interventions introduced from the early 1980s onwards were predominantly based on techniques of floodwater-harvesting. Generally, their achievements have remained below expectation. Indigenous SWC applied by settling nomadic Beja groups in the area since the 1950s was therefore considered as an alternative. Indigenous SWC is predominantly based on rainwater-harvesting. It was found that these techniques provide good opportunities to support the livelihoods of the Beja in the short term. However, in the long term subsistence means other than crop production based on indigenous SWC are also required to sustain their living. This is because the environmental conditions in eastern Sudan are insecure.
