The number of small reservoirs has increased due to their reduced cost, the availability of
many favourable locations, and their easy access due to proximity. The cumulative impacts …

Water scarcity is a growing challenge in semi-arid and sub-humid areas. There are over
2000 small reservoirs (SRs) with storage capacities of up to 1× 106 m3 across West Africa's …

Water stock monitoring is a major issue for society on a local and global scale. Sentinel-1&2
satellites provide frequent acquisitions to track water surface dynamics, proxy variables to …

Under drought conditions, by constructing dams, water resource management prevents the
flow of water and helps sustain groundwater resources in the long run. On the other hand …

Multipurpose small reservoirs are essential infrastructure in providing water for irrigation and
non-irrigation uses in water stress areas of northern Ghana. Unfortunately, the flow of …

The social impacts of large dams have been studied extensively. However, small dams'
social impacts have been largely neglected by the academic community. Our paper …

This study provides a general observation of the status of naturally occurring radioactive
materials (NORMs) distribution in mining and industrial areas of Ghana in order to establish …

Decisions on capital intensive hydrological infrastructure, including dams and canal-fed
irrigation schemes, may have non-trivial effects on the behaviour and, ultimately, the well …

This study presents an assessment of factors that influence how people who live in the
vicinity of dams view such projects. The usefulness of the principal component analysis …

Emerging evidence and site-specific assessments suggest that irrigation infrastructure
projects and reforms in West Africa have failed to achieve proposed targets. We evaluate …
