Using sap flow data to assess variations in water use and water status of apple orchards of varying age groups in the western cape province of South Africa
(Water Research Commission, 2020)
No accurate quantitative information currently exists on how water use of apple (Malus domestica) orchards varies from planting to full-bearing age, leading to poor irrigation and water allocation decision making. This ...
Leveraging Google Earth Engine platform to characterize and map small seasonal wetlands in the semi-arid environments of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Although significant scientific research strides have been made in mapping the spatial extents and
ecohydrological dynamics of wetlands in semi-arid environments, the focus on small wetlands remains a challenge. This is ...
Leveraging Google Earth engine platform to characterize and map small seasonal wetlands in the semi-arid environments of South Africa
(Elsevier, 2022)
Although significant scientific research strides have been made in mapping the spatial extents and
ecohydrological dynamics of wetlands in semi-arid environments, the focus on small wetlands remains a challenge. This is ...
Influence of multiple uses of water on the sustainability of communally-managed rural water supply systems in Zimbabwe
(IWA Publishing, 2021)
The utilisation of drinking water supply systems for productive uses is not a new practice in
Zimbabwe and the world over. This study sought to explore how multiple uses of water, in this case
community gardening as a ...
Dynamics and scales of transmission losses in dryland river systems: a meta-analysis
(AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF WATER RESOURCES, 2021)
In this paper, 245 studies were reviewed to understand approaches used for estimating river channel transmission losses. Findings indicate that regression equations, differential equations, flow routing, experimental ...
Assessing the variation of river channel reach inflows on transmission losses
(World Water Policy, 2022)
Arid and semi-arid regions are characterized by limited water availability throughout the year and highly variable streamflows. River channel transmission losses add another uncertainty to the complex flow regimes. However, ...
Remotely sensed applications in monitoring the spatio-temporal dynamics of pools and flows along non-perennial rivers: A review
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022)
Non-perennial rivers (NPRs) account for more than 50% of the world’s river network and their occurrence is expanding. Some rivers that were previously classified as perennial have evolved to be NPRs in response to climate ...
Using cloud computing techniques to monitor long-term variations in ecohydrological dynamics of small seasonally-flooded wetlands in semi-arid South Africa.
(Journal of Hydrology, 2022)
Wetlands in drylands have high inter- and intra-annual ecohydrological variations that are driven to a great extent by climate variability and anthropogenic influences. The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands encourages the ...
Correction: sibanda et al. application of drone technologies in surface water resources monitoring and assessment: a systematic review of progress, challenges, and opportunities in the global south. drones 2021, 5, 84
(Drones, 2022)
In the original publication [1], “Fahad Alawadi. Detection of surface algal blooms using the newly developed algorithm surface algal bloom index (SABI)”, “Proc. SPIE 7825, Remote Sensing of the Ocean, Sea Ice, and Large ...
Multispectral remote sensing of wetlands in semi-arid and arid areas: A review on applications, challenges and possible future research directions
(Remote Sensing, 2022)
Wetlands are ranked as very diverse ecosystems, covering about 4–6% of the global land surface. They occupy the transition zones between aquatic and terrestrial environments, and share characteristics of both zones. Wetlands ...
