A recent article by Abadi et al. (2025) summarises existing concepts for assessing the suitability of surface water and groundwater for irrigation purposes.

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 ...

The WEFE Nexus is an approach that integrates management and governance across the multiple sectors of food, energy, water, and ecosystems. The Nexus corroborates the need to not view water, energy, food.

 

We are pleased to share our research article entitled“Global Water Challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa and how to strengthen science-policy dialogues on transboundary governance and cooperation” by Anghileri et al., 2024.
