Savannas are among Africa's most productive landscapes, supporting livestock and rural livelihoods. Droughts and erratic rainfall patterns across large parts of Africa results in water-limited environments, sensitive to climatic conditions, environmental changes (i.e., invasive species) and land management practices, jeopardizing this ecosystem's productivity and resilience. The TIGER Project (Remote Sensing of Water Use and Water Stress...
When looking at the nexus of water, energy, and food security, the question is which environmental resources have to be managed in an integrated way? For United Nations University Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES), these environmental resources are: water, soil, and waste. The Nexus Observatory is an initiative of UNU-FLORES, which...
An UNU-FLORES project aims to support practitioners, academics and entities in addressing monitoring issues in the field of water quality indicators and indices, ultimately facilitating the achievement of the SDGs. More specifically, the results of this research will help researchers to identify relevant research questions related to the issue of water quality indicators and indices....
