Assessment of the impact of climate change on honey and propolis production in Nigeria

Oyerinde, A.A.; Chuwang, P.Z.; Oyerinde, G.T.; Adeyemi, S.A. (Academia Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2014)

Global warming is the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans. It was observed that the Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C, with about two thirds of the increase occurring ...
Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Water Resources in the Upper Senegal Basin (West Africa)

Mbaye, Mamadou Lamine; Hagemann, Stefan; Haensler, Andreas; Stacke, Tobias; Gaye, Amadou Thierno; Abel Afouda (American Journal of Climate Change, 2015)

This study assesses the potential impacts of climate change on water resources and the effect of statistical bias correction on the projected climate change signal in hydrological variables over the Upper Senegal Basin ...
Hydro-climatic changes in the Niger basin and consistency of local perceptions

Oyerinde, Ganiyu Titilope; Hountondji, Fabien C. C.; Wisser, Dominik; Diekkruger, Bernd; Lawin, Agnide E.; Odofin, Ayo J.; Afouda, Abel (Springer, 2015)

Since the 1970s, the Niger basin has been characterized by hydro-climatic changes which have significant impacts on local populations. These changes are not well documented as a result of a decreasing observation network ...
Influence of the uncertainties related to the Random Component of Rainfall Inflow in the Ouémé River Basin (Benin, West Africa)

Biao, I. Eliézer; Gaba, Charlene; Alamou, A. Eric; Afouda, Abel (International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology, 2015)

Rainfall is very often considered as the driving force of hydrological models. If the rainfall changes, the model output (i.e. flow) is also expected to change. The objective of this paper is to study the impacts of the ...
Integrated water management tools supporting future water security and food production in West Africa

Badjana, Hèou Maléki; Helmschrot, Jörg; Flügel, Wolfgang-Albert; Wala, Kpérkouma; Afouda, Abel; Akpagana, Koffi (Hydrological Sciences and Water Security: Past, Present and Future, 2015)
Modelling extreme streamflows under non-stationary conditions in the Ouémé River basin, Benin, West Africa

Hounkpe, Jean; Afouda, Abel A.; Diekkrüger, Bernd; Hountondji, Fabien (Hydrological Sciences and Water Security, 2015)
Use of Climate Indexes as Covariates In Modelling High Discharges Under Non Stationary Condition In Oueme River

Hounkpè, Jean; Afouda, Abel A.; Diekkrüger, Bernd (2015)

Within the context of climate change, the hypothesis of the stationarity of observed datasets for performing classical flood frequency analysis is no longer valid. We explore the use of see surface temperature (SST) and ...
Investigation on the 1970s and 1980s Droughts in Four Tributaries of The Niger River Basin (West Africa)

Badou, Djigbo F.; Afouda, Abel; Diekkrüger, Bernd; Kapangaziwiri, Evison (2015)

West Africa has experienced severe droughts during 1970s and 1980s. On the other hand, the region is characterized by high inter-annual rainfall variability and there seems to be a recent recovery. But has the drought ...
An Information System for Integrated Land and Water Resources Management in The Kara River Basin (Togo and Benin)

Badjana, Hèou Maléki; Zander, Franziska; Kralisch, Sven; Helmschrot, Jörg; Flugel, Wolfgang-Albert (International Journal of Database Management Systems ( IJDMS ), 2015-02)

A prerequisite for integrated land and water resources management (ILWRM) is a holistic river basin assessment. The latter requires information and data from different scientific disciplines but also appropriate data ...
Intra-Seasonal Variability of Climate Change in Central Burkina Faso

Bontogho, Tog-Noma Patricia Emma; Ibrahim, Boubacar; Barry, Boubacar; Helmschrot, Joerg (International Journal of Current Engineering and Technology, 2015-06)

Knowledge of climate variability is relevant and challenging to farmers, decision makers and the population in general. Ninety percent of Burkina Faso working population is engaged in agriculture which accounts for 39% of ...
