Quantifying sustainable intensification of agriculture: The contribution of metrics and modelling

Ioanna Mouratiadou et al.

Summary: Sustainable intensification of agriculture is a promising strategy to enhance the capacity of the agricultural sector to meet growing demands sustainably. An approach combining a newly developed metrics framework with agricultural systems modelling allows for the ex-ante evaluation of SI options. This approach can help in decision making and assessing trade-offs related to SI across different dimensions.

Effect of irrigation water withdrawal on the hydrology of the Lake Tana sub-basin

Meron Teferi Taye et al.

Summary: The study focused on the Lake Tana sub-basin in Ethiopia and highlighted the impact of small-scale irrigation expansion on water balance, especially during the dry season. The eastern side of the sub-basin faces water shortages, with further irrigation expansion potentially exacerbating water scarcity. Urgent adaptive management is needed to address the effects of small-scale irrigation on the hydrology of the sub-basin.

A Review of SWAT Model Application in Africa

George Akoko et al.

Summary: The SWAT model has been extensively used in various hydrological and environmental simulations, with studies focusing on water resources, erosion, land-use management, climate change, and model parameterization. The challenges and potential benefits of the SWAT model's applications, along with considerations for future simulations, are discussed in these studies.

APEX-MODFLOW: A New integrated model to simulate hydrological processes in watershed systems

Ryan T. Bailey et al.

Summary: This paper introduces the integration of the APEX model with the MODFLOW groundwater flow model for testing code accuracy and hydrologic state variables and fluxes in three different watersheds in the United States. The model can be used for scenario analysis in groundwater-driven watersheds with varying hydrologic processes.
