A new database of hydrological and environmental metadata launched
High quality field data are crucial to success in the hydrological and environmental research. As such monitoring is often expensive and time consuming, it is convenient to share such data among research institutions. However, to facilitate the sharing, one must know the “who, where, and what”. That is why the hydrologists from the Institute of […]
Combating land degradation and soil erosion in Ethiopia
