Water Accounting and Productivity Analysis to Improve Water Savings of Nile River Basin, East Africa: From Accountability to Sustainability by Hirwa, Hubert, Zhang, Qiuying, Li, Fadong, Qiao, Yunfeng, Measho, Simon, Muhirwa, Fabien, Xu, Ning, Tian, Chao, Cheng, Hefa, Chen, Gang, Ngwijabagabo, Hyacinthe, Turyasingura, Benson, Itangishaka, Auguste Cesar

“…This study aims to evaluate the contributions of hydro meteorological factors to the changes of WA and CWP and subsequent WUE based on the data from 2009–2020 in the Nile River Basin (NRB), East Africa (EA). The Mann-Kendall (MK) statistical test and Sen’s slope estimator were applied to detect the trends of climatic factors, and the AquaCrop model was used to simulate the crop yields in response to water balance and consumption based on crop physiological, soil water, and salt budget concepts. …”
