Assessing effects of small- and large-scale irrigation schemes on the Water-Energy-Food nexus in the Omo-Turkana basin, Kenya and Ethiopia. KU Leuven
In the Omo-Turkana basin, water availability for hydropower production and food production through irrigation are inherently linked. Various trade-offs exist among these WEF-nexus components through space and time. This PhD project will focus on the water use by irrigated agriculture in two targeted sub-basins of OTB, the lower Omo basin in Ethiopia and the Turkwel river basin in Kenya. It is linked to the EU H2020 project DAFNE (Decision ...
