GRACE-derived groundwater changes over Greater Horn of Africa: Temporal variability and the potential for irrigated agriculture

GRACE-derived groundwater changes over Greater Horn of Africa: Temporal variability and the potential for irrigated agriculture

Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) is projected to face negative impacts on per capita food production due to dwindling nature of water resources forced by climate change and rising population growth. The region has limited groundwater irrigated agriculture and also lacks groundwater monitoring infrastruc...
