TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current knowledge of key physical and hydraulic properties related to the structure of globally available peat soils and briefly discuss their implications for water storage, flow and the migration of solutes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified research gaps in understanding flood changes at the catchment scale caused by changes in forest management, agricultural practices, artificial drainage, and terracing, and proposed strategies in addressing these gaps.

TL;DR: Displacement studies on leaching of bromide and two pesticides were conducted under unsaturated steady state flow conditions in 24 small undisturbed soil columns, indicating the inadequacy of the non-equilibrium model to incorporate the effect of all forms of non-Equilibrium in PFCs.

TL;DR: Examination of farmers’ perceptions and adaptation practices to climate change and variability in accordance with actual recorded weather data of the Vea catchment in Upper East Region of northern Ghana during the time interval from 1972 to 2012 indicates a rising trend in temperature but no long-term changes in annual and monthly rainfall.

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical water quantity and quality measurement program comprising automatic sampling stations at a tile drain outlet, a ditch and a brook was conducted in a small rural lowland catchment (2003-2005).
