WORLD WATER DAY 2022
WORLD WATER DAY 2022 GROUNDWATER – MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE Groundwater is invisible, but its impact is visible everywhere. Out of sight, under our feet, groundwater is a hidden treasure that enriches our lives. Almost all of the liquid freshwater in the world is groundwater. As climate change gets worse, groundwater will become more and […]

Ecosystem management of degraded red and lateritic soil through agroforestry
Agroforestry systems are efficient in protecting environment and forests, in integrating farming components in a lesser space and time to produce crop per drop of water and per plot of land, and thus, in making better use of environmental and natural resources. Agroforestry systems are also very much efficient in protecting marginal lands in red […]
