Quantifying and evaluating the impacts of cooperation in transboundary river basins on the Water-Energy-Food nexus: The Blue Nile Basin.
TLDR
The results show that theEconomic gain of the Blue Nile Basin from WEF increases with raising the cooperation level between Ethiopia and Sudan to collaboration, however, the economic gain of each riparian country does not necessarily follow the same pattern as the economic loss of the basin.About:

Understanding and managing new risks on the Nile with the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
TL;DR: This analysis illustrates how during filling the HAD reservoir could fall to levels not seen in recent decades, although the risk of water shortage in Egypt is relatively low, and a new normal period after the reservoir fills; and a severe multi-year drought after the filling.

TL;DR: The method demonstrates how improvements to water security for both downstream riparians can be achieved through dynamic adaptation of the operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam during drought conditions and the robustness of potential management arrangements can be evaluated considering potential effects of climate change.

Performance of satellite-based and GPCC 7.0 rainfall products in an extremely data-scarce country in the Nile Basin
TL;DR: In this article, an evaluation of six long-term (1983 onward) rainfall products, namely the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre full data reanalysis version 70 (GPCC 70) and five Satellite-Rainfall Products (SRPs), is undertaken Data from the only currently operating longterm stations (five) with reasonably up-to-date records are used to conduct point-topixel evaluation for the six products (from 1983 to 2010) The results of error and linear fit metrics rank GPCC 70 as the best performing product on monthly, maximum monthly, and annual

Sustainable assessment of Water-Energy-Food Nexus at regional level through a multi-stakeholder optimization approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-objective optimization model for the design of a water-energy-food system that involves the sustainable production of water, energy and food in areas that share economic activities through the industrial, agriculture and livestock sectors is presented.

The Millennium Development Goals Report
TL;DR: Ban et al. as discussed by the authors stated that the global community cannot turn its back on the poor and the vulnerable, and that the goals are within reach, and even in the very poor countries, with strong political commitment and sufficient and sustained funding.

Evaluating the use of “goodness-of-fit” Measures in hydrologic and hydroclimatic model validation
TL;DR: In this paper, the goodness-of-fit or relative error measures (including the coefficient of efficiency and the index of agreement) that overcome many of the limitations of correlation-based measures are discussed.

Root mean square error (RMSE) or mean absolute error (MAE)? – Arguments against avoiding RMSE in the literature
TL;DR: In this article, the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) are used to evaluate model performance and it is shown that the RMSE is more appropriate to represent model performance than the MAE when the error distribution is expected to be Gaussian.

TL;DR: The Variable Infiltration Capacity model, a novel blending procedure incorporating the spatial correlation structure of CCD-estimates to assign interpolation weights, is presented and it is shown that CHIRPS can support effective hydrologic forecasts and trend analyses in southeastern Ethiopia.

Improvements to a MODIS global terrestrial evapotranspiration algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, an improved version of the global evapotranspiration (ET) algorithm based on MODIS and global meteorology data has been proposed, which simplifies the calculation of vegetation cover fraction, calculating ET as the sum of daytime and nighttime components, adding soil heat flux calculation, improving estimates of stomatal conductance, aerodynamic resistance and boundary layer resistance, separating dry canopy surface from the wet and dividing soil surface into saturated wet surface and moist surface.
