Economics Of Water Use For Commodity Production In Scarcity Arid Regions: Kutum, Darfur, Issam A.W. Mohamed Professor
Economics Of Water Use For Commodity Production In Scarcity Arid Regions: Kutum, Darfur, Issam A.W. Mohamed Professor
Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed
The paper investigates water use in a rural village in semi-arid of Darfur region. Water use is viewed from the perspective of four production sectors: agriculture, rural industry, trade and services as well as domestic: drinking, cooking and sanitary uses. Water for these uses may be from three sources: rain water, surface water, and groundwater. This study focuses on groundwater. Results of a detailed survey indicate that groundwater use is dominated by agricultural activities including irrigated vegetables and grains, tree crops, and animal rearing. A ratio of water use to income generated is used as a measure of water intensity …

A move to a new eLearning environment can challenge the organisation's communication channels and decision-making culture. Further, producing quality learning resources for technology based training in one eLearning environment does not guarantee an easy transition to another environment. This case study of the Australian Army presents the issues involved within an established eLearning development team that was dealing with rapid change in their work …
