Integrating Groundwater Conservation and Risk Mitigation under Uncertainty: Strategies for Sustainable Aquifers and Agriculture
Groundwater is a crucial resource for agricultural production globally, especially in water-scarce regions. However, increased irrigation demands, weak governance, and climate change-induced variability threaten the sustainability of aquifers, jeopardizing long-term agricultural productivity. This …

Assessment of river-groundwater interactions in the Barotse floodplain, Western Zambia.
… The main objective of this study was to evaluate groundwater-surface water interactions in the Barotse Floodplain. To achieve this objective, remote sensing was employed to identify perennial green vegetated areas with a shallow depth to groundwater table in the floodplain. Normalised Difference …
