Sediment investigations at small reservoir scale in Burkina Faso

Rapid siltation of small reservoirs causes severe agricultural problems in countries with temporally limited water resources. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor on-site and off-site effects of soil erosion simultaneously and to develop new approaches to identify sediment dynamics within a complex system.

 

Soil erosion modelling at hillslope scale in Burkina Faso

Soil erosion is a major factor for land degradation in the semi-arid environment of Burkina Faso. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify soil loss and to identify adequate land management strategies to prevent topsoil from being eroded.

 

Joint atmospheric-hydrological simulations for near real time water balance estimations

Sustainable decisions in water resources management require scientifically sound information on water availability, which includes the quantification of the spatial and temporal changes of water balance variables
