Research paper focused on the design and development of a groundwater flow model over the Zambezi river basin, using the state-of-the-art DHI-WASY finite element code Feflow.

Groundwater hydrology and hydrochemistry research implemented over the high productive aquifer system located in the lower Ruzizi river plain, North of Tanganyika lake, led to the preparation of piezometric maps that identify major groundwater flow directions from the mountains North o ...

NATURE-Water: Effectiveness of wetlands as reservoirs for integrated water resource management in the Ruzizi plain based on water evaluation and planning (WEAP) approach for a climate-resilient future in eastern D.R. CongoThe Rusizi Plain, situated between Burundi and D.R.

Climate variability plays a crucial role in the annual fluctuations of crop yields, posing a substantial threat to food security. Maize, the main cereal in sub-Saharan Africa, has shown varied yield trends during increasingly warmer growing seasons.

 

Access to energy services is a priority for sustainable economic development, especially in rural areas, where small- and medium-sized enterprises have many difficulties in accessing reliabl

This report summarizes the main findings of the different activities that the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and the different partner institutions are conducting within the framework of the Water Energy Food Ecosystem nexus analysis in sub-Saharan Africa.

Biomass is the major source of energy in most developing countries. However, there are concerns about the sustainability of biomass supplies and the environmental impacts resulting from their use. Use of residues could contribute to ensuring sustainable supply of biomass energy.

The report summarizes the key ACEWATER2 project scientific achievements of the activities implemented by the African CoEs (Centers of Excellence), supporting Institutions, leading experts and the JRC. The outcomes of few ongoing research projects at JRC complements the overall framewor ...

Hydrological fluxes, land use and climate change are significant processes in the biogeochemical processes and agricultural productivity in the Lake Victoria Basin.

Blue Nile River is the main source of water for hundreds of millions of people in Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. Natural resources in the Nile Basin are under enormous pressure due to population growth, economic development, increased energy and food needs.

The transboundary Zambezi River Basin (ZRB), the fourth largest in Africa, faces many challenges from the perspective of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus, including, among many others,

The Zambezi River Basin (ZRB) is among the key water resources of Southern Africa. It sustains the socio-economic livelihoods of a rapidly growing population of over 40

The project “Zambezi River Basin Groundwater Hydrology Characterisation in Zimbabwe” was a contribution to the “Water and Cooperation within the Zambezi River Basin (ZRB)” case study project for Southern Africa Centres of Excellence (CoEs) in the framework of AU/NEPAD ACEWATER2 project ...

Current EU development policy provides a general frame and background that justifies a Nexus approach and methodology.
