1. Modelling water resources despite data limitations in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley
Sammanfattning : Water is a vital resource for survival on the Earth. Sustainable management of water resources is therefore required for the wellbeing of present and future generations. A cornerstone of water resources management is scientific guidance supported by relevant data (in terms of quantity and quality). LÄS MER
2. Building a coherent hydro-climatic modelling framework for the data limited Kilombero Valley of Tanzania
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores key aspects for synthesizing data across spatiotemporal scales relevant for water resources management in an Eastern Africa context. Specifically, the potential of large scale global precipitation datasets (GPDs) in data limited regions to overcome spatial and temporal data gaps is considered. LÄS MER
3. Accumulation from Below : Smallholders and public irrigation investments in Kilombero Valley, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : Smallholders in Tanzania and elsewhere in Africa are increasingly differentiated. This thesis contributes to the empirical and conceptual understanding of the differentiation processes in irrigation by following the internal dynamics among smallholders linked to public investments in improving smallholder initiated small scale irrigation schemes in Kilombero district, Tanzania.

4. Agricultural expansion impacts on wetland ecosystem services from Kilombero Valley, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : Land use change has major impact on the world’s wetland ecosystems and biodiversity. The motivation behind this change has been to increase agricultural production, often resulting in negative effects on water quality and soil fertility. LÄS MER
5. Sustainable agriculture : From global challenges to local land management
Sammanfattning : Despite the success of agriculture management practices in increasing the availability of food needed to meet the requirements of the expanding global population, there are increasing demands placed on the resources on which the sector depends. Opportunities for the development of agricultural systems are constrained by increasing competition, from other sectors, for shared resources. LÄS MER
