Somalia's climate is naturally arid and semi-arid, with two major rainy seasons. However, irregular rainfall and severe droughts that are becoming more intense and frequent increase the country's water scarcity, disrupting livelihoods and causing drought-related migration and population displacements. …

Most research on hydrological risks focuses either on flood risk or drought risk, whilst floods and droughts are two extremes of the same hydrological cycle. To better design disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures and strategies, it is important to consider interactions between these closely linked phenomena. …

In Eastern Africa, increasing climate variability and changing socioeconomic conditions are exacerbating the frequency and intensity of drought disasters. Droughts pose a severe threat to food security in this region, which is characterized by a large dependency on smallholder rain-fed agriculture and …

The present study focuses on the environmental and socio-economic impacts of extreme drought in the Aspiring UNESCO Scheldt Delta Geopark (ASDG). Climate change projections indicate that periods of extreme drought, as experienced in 2018, are likely to occur with higher frequency and intensity in the …

The municipality of Bergen op Zoom is assuming to overlook climate change problems and possibilities. They are missing knowledge on how to deal with a dry period. This is the reason of the requested for a research on the drought problematic. They want to know how different departments and inhabitants …

Both climate change and human activity are the important drivers that can change hydrological cycle routs and affect the features of hydrological drought in river basins. The current study selects the Zayandeh Rud river Basin as a case study region in which to evaluate the influences of climate alteration …

Climate change has caused dilapidation of the environment, droughts and floods leading to reduced yields, productivity and ultimately food insecurity for human consumption. Unfortunately, it is our contact with the environment that has led to all this, but most people are not aware. The three gases contributing …

Urbanisation and climate change have an effect on the water balance in our cities resulting in challenges as flooding, droughts and heatstress. Implementation of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) can help to restore the water balance in cities by storing and infiltrating stormwater into the subsurface …

The aim of the research is to help the Maasai to restore the ecosystem in order to get more feed for their livestock, but also for wildlife. This has become an issue mainly because of the droughts, erosion, dividing of land and overgrazing. These circumstances are different comparing with the past. The …

This research helps to understand how small-scale farmers cope with frequent droughts in Wankhala agricultural camp, Petauke district, Zambia. This follows small-scale farmers’ frequent failures to satisfy their food needs whole year round. This is mainly because of the reduction in productivity of their …
