Climate change adaptation in Nepal’s agrarian highlands is realised primarily through everyday adaptation practices. Drawing on mixed-methods research in Bajhang District, Nepal, this paper integrates four decades of hydroclimatic trend analysis with qualitative data collected through fieldwork to examine how shifting monsoon timing, warming winters and declining snowfall disrupt crop calendars and destabilise subsistence farm...

Climate model ensembles and proper bias correction enhance climate projections; however, most previous predictions focused on a single model. This study aimed to project the climate of the Kessie watershed in the Ethiopian Abay Basin using best-fitting model ensembles, bias-corrected with relatively outperformed methods for the study area. The performance of the following methods was evaluated: power transformation, linear sca...

Algeria faces severe water stress, marked by a decrease in water availability per inhabitant from 1,500 m 3 /year in 1962 to 430 m 3 in 2020, with a projection of 300 m 3 by 2050. In this context, optimizing wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) becomes essential to reduce the water deficit. This study evaluates the performance of the urban wastewater treatment plant of Maghnia (Northwestern Algeria) by carrying out a statistica...

Missing data and inhomogeneities are common challenges in climate time series. This study aimed to develop quality-controlled and homogenised rainfall and temperature data for the Kessie watershed in the Ethiopian Abay River Basin, and to assess the impact of homogenisation on the time series. The four decades (1986-2023) of observational data from fifteen meteorological stations, and the corresponding reanalysis and satellite...
