    Water Harvesting for Community Resilience in Africa

    For thousand years, people have been benefiting from collecting, storing and making productive use of the rain, or water flows for their crops, animals, or for drinking. This smart idea still has all its beauty in today’s context. We talked to Dr. Yasir Mohamed (Sudan) and Prof. Pieter van der Zaag (IHE Delft, Netherlands) about how water harvesting helps building community resilience in Africa.

    Understanding Pakistan Floods

    More than a third of Pakistan is under water since mid-June. The floods have left 1500 dead; more than 13,000 injured; 7.6 million displaced. Is this a freak hydrological event, or are we going to see more mega-floods in the future? To what extent are the floods an inevitable effect of climate change, and how much of the death and destruction was down to bad planning, preparedness, and water management? We discuss with Ilyas Masih and Micha Werner (IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Netherlands) and Khurram Mubeen (MNS University- Multan, Pakistan).
