Stormwater management in the desert southwest USA
In southwestern desert area of the United States, water management has not received much attention despite several decades of experience. The region has high rainfall intensity even though the annual precipitation is very low. Runoff is high making stormwater management essential for protecting the quality and quantity of rainfall.
Searching for water to mitigate conflicts
In northern Mali, a dry area of 827,000 square kilometres, water has been a source of strife. As the Sahara desert expands southwards, finding water is becoming increasingly urgent, and harder. Communities, supported by NGOs are digging small shallow wells to provide water.
