Hydrological ecosystem services (HESS), also referred to as water-related ecosystem services, highlight the intricate connection between ecosystem services and the hydrological cycle. This relationship underscores that the magnitude of these services is largely dependent on the a

The Water Efficiency Paradox
The significance of spatial scale and knowledge exchange in irrigation water management
Water scarcity is a growing issue across the globe (Rijsberman, 2006) and because agriculture is the main consumer of water, investing in irrigation efficiency seems like a good solution to this problem. However, local gains in efficiency can reduce runoff and hence, have an adve

Redesigning the Morgan-Morgan-Finney Soil Erosion Model for Global High-Resolution Application
By using remote sensing data as the main source of input and coupling runoff calculation to the IHE hydrological model, WaterPix
The Morgan-Morgan-Finney (MMF) model is identified as the most appropriate hillslope soil erosion model for high resolution global application with the objective of identifying relative erosion risk areas and modelling the effect of land cover changes on erosion at a catchment sc

Efficient Water Use in Agriculture
Leading perceptions of key actors in research, policy and practice evaluated at field scale in Tadla basin Morocco and Lower Limpopo basin Mozambique
Expected increase of world wide food demand requires improvement of efficient water use in agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the Directorate-General for International Cooperation (DGIS) of the Netherlands
