by CRC Press

Presenting the hydrological research carried out in the Migina catchment (260 km 2 ), Southern Rwanda with the objective to explore the hydrological trends and climate linkages for catchments in Rwanda (26,338 km 2 ), and to contribute to the understanding of dominant hydrological process interactions. Different Hydro-meteorological instrumentations have been installed for several months in the... Read more
