This paper analyses the efficiency with which water is used in small-scale irrigation schemes in North-West Province in South Africa and studies its determinants. In the study area, small-scale irrigation schemes play an important role in rural development, but the increasing pressure on water res...
The primary source of irrigation water is the Jhelum River and its tributary, and on its northeast side is Wular Lake, which is Asia’s biggest freshwater lake. The primary soil type of the study area is silty clay loam and is grouped into alluvial and forest soil. The main soil orders ...
Moreover, the decline of ET in the high mountains under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 shares the same pattern of the decline in temperature (Figure 7b,c). SPT is mainly present in the high mountains, and its growth is limited by temperature. Thus, its growth is surpassed by the decline in ...
Rock Stop(has a small interactive indoor exhibition plus cafe) at Unapool andKnockan Cragstop (outdoors) are both good places to teach the kids a bit about the North West Highlands Geo Park and the amazing local geology. Achmelvich Beach– This is a really pretty beach and fairly protected...
It was within the North West Highlands GeoPark that Peach and Horne made their important geological discoveries, and it is also home to the oldest known rocks in Britain and some of the earliest known evidence of life in Europe. The Lewisian Gneiss rocks are estimated to be 3 billion years...
