Understanding Hydrological Processes in an Ungauged Catchment in sub-Saharan ...

Understanding the key-hydrological processes, and determination of the frequencies and magnitudes of stream flows, is very important for local food production. This title studies these through a multi-method approach and develops a conceptual model to test the hypothesised conceptualisation of the flow paths. > Ungauged catchments can be found in many parts of the world, but particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Information collected in a gauged catchment and its regionalisation to ungauged areas is crucial for water resources assessment. Especially farmers in semi-arid zones are in need of such information. Inter and Intra-seasonal rainfall variability is large in these areas, and farmers depend more and more on additional surface and groundwater resources for their crop production. As a result, understanding the key-hydrological processes, and determination of the frequencies and magnitudes of stream flows, is very important for local food production. This is particularly true for.
