The Intensity – duration (I-D) curves towards to a spatially distributed flood early warning tool (F-EWT)
(Corresponding) Feloni E., Baltas E.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Attica region suffers from rainfall events of high intensity, inducing flash-floods and significant damages in the urbanized areas. This analysis concerns the determination of the maximum intensity-duration thresholds regarding flooding (F) or non-flooding (NF) regime, using the available...Read more

Microwave communication networks as a sustainable tool of rainfall monitoring for agriculture needs in Africa
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H., Kumah K., Hoedjes J., Su B., Liu Y.
Topic:
Agroforestry, forest and agricultural sustainability
Commercial Microwave Links (CMLs), that provide the underlying framework for data transfer between cellular network base stations have been found effective for monitoring rainfall. Wireless infrastructure of this kind is deployed widely by communication providers across Africa and can be used as a...Read more
Can Cell-Phone Tower Signals Help Fight Malaria in Africa?
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Malaria is one of the major causes of mortality in the world today. Sub-Saharan African countries suffer most acutely from outbreaks of the disease and some 90% of cases of death (hundreds of thousands of people each year) occur in this region. High intensity rainfall is a central parameter leading...Read more

(Corresponding) Tafesse N., Laletsang K., Mapeo R., Appia R.
Topic:
Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation
Groundwater recharge estimation using chloride mass balance (CMB) method was conducted in Molepolole area, SE of Botswana. The study area is semi-arid area with uneven distribution of rainfall throughout the year. The mean annual rainfall of the area is 423.64 mm. Climatically the area is...Read more
