Building the information system of the French Critical Zone Observatories network: Theia/OZCAR-IS

The French Critical Zone research infrastructure, OZCAR-RI, gathers 20 long-term observatories monitoring and sampling various compartments of the critical zone. Each observatory developed its own data management and distribution systems. The paper presents the common information system Theia/OZCAR IS that was built to make in situ observation FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). Within M-TROPICS, Norbert Silvera from iEES Paris participated to the paper that was just published in the Hydrological Sciences Journal.

Due to climate and environmental changes, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has experienced several drought and flood events in recent decades with serious consequences on the economy of the sub-region. In this context, the region needs to enhance its capacity in water resources management, based on both good knowledge of contemporary variations in river flows and reliable […]

Escherichia coli concentration, multiscale monitoring over the decade 2011–2021 in the Mekong River basin, Lao PDR

Bacterial pathogens in surface waters may threaten human health, especially in developing countries, where untreated surface water is often used for domestic needs. The objective of the long-term multiscale monitoring of Escherichia coli concentration in stream water, and that of associated variables (temperature, electrical conductance, dissolved oxygen concentration and saturation, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, turbidity, and […]

Groundwater irrigation reduces overall poverty but increases socioeconomic vulnerability in a semiarid region of southern India

The development of irrigation is generally considered an efficient way to reduce poverty in rural areas, although its impact on the inequality between farmers is more debated. In fact, assessing the impact of water management on different categories of farmers requires resituating it within the different dimensions of the local socio-technical context. This study, led […]
