Enhancement of rainfall and runoff upstream from irrigation location in a climate model of West Africa

Enhancement of rainfall and runoff upstream from irrigation location in a climate model of West Africa

This study investigates the impact of potential medium-scale irrigation (about 60,000 km²) on the climate of West Africa using the MIT Regional Climate Model. We find that irrigation at this scale induces an atmospheric response similar to that of large-scale irrigation (about 400,000km²) which was...
