  • Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Drought by Different Methods in Trarza Region, Mauritania
    Water Resour Manage (2017) 31:825–845 DOI 10.1007/s11269-016-1510-8 Evaluation and Assessment of Meteorological Drought by Different Methods in Trarza Region, Mauritania Ely Yacoub1 & Gokmen Tayfur1 Received: 6 June 2016 /Accepted: 20 September 2016 / Published online: 10 October 2016 # Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2016 Abstract Drought Indexes (DIs) are commonly used for assessing the effect of drought such as the duration and severity. In this study, long term precipitation records (monthly recorded for 44 years) in three stations (Boutilimit (station 1), Nouakchott (station 2), and Rosso (station 3)) are employed to investigate the drought characteristics in Trarza region in Mauritania. Six DI methods, namely normal Standardized Precipitation Index (normal-SPI), log normal Standardized Precipitation Index (log-SPI), Standardized Precipitation Index using Gamma distribution (Gamma-SPI), Percent of Normal (PN), the China-Z index (CZI), and Deciles are used for this purpose. The DI methods are based on 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12 month time periods. The results showed that DIs produce almost the same results for the Trarza region. The droughts are detected in the seventies and eighties more than the 1990s. Twelve drought years might be experienced in station 2 and six in stations 1 and 3 in every 44 years, according to reoccurrence probability of the gamma-SPI and log-SPI results. Stations 1 and 3 might experience fewer drought years than station 2, which is located right on the coast. In station 1, which is located inland, when the annual rainfall is less than 123 mm, it is likely that severe drought would occur.

  • Chapter 5 Formulation of Action Plan and Model for Gorgol Region
    The Development Study for the Project on Revitalization of Irrigated Agriculture in the Irrigated Zone of Foum Gleita in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania Main Report CHAPTER 5 FORMULATION OF ACTION PLAN AND MODEL FOR GORGOL REGION 5.1 Issues of the Foum Gleita Project Area 5.1.1 Analysis of the History of the Foum Gleita Project The important events in Foum Gleita are reviewed to define the background of problems. However, the operation for the entire area has started about 20 years ago in 1990, and hence SONADER no longer possessed the documents of this period, and neither did the farmers. The information was fragmentary, and often the time of the events was not well defined and the description given by the farmers was different from each other. These issues were complicated, and it was difficult to ascertain the veracity of the facts. Based on these conditions, the Fig. 5.1.1 was prepared, and the chronological table on the left shows important events related to Foum Gleita and the figure on the right shows an image between necessary inputs for irrigated agriculture and cropping areas as its results. Actually, the problems of Foum Gleita were attributed to the fact that the scope of management and maintenance for mid and long term was not sufficient, and the farmers and the government did not play their roles. Then the problems were accumulated, while both of them do nothing. The figure 5.1.1 shows the real situation of Foum Gleita (left in red) and the idealistic responsibility and results (right in blue).

While the locust situation remains calm, heavy pressure on off- season crops from grain-eating birds continue, despite large-scale control programs. Food security.........................2 Recommendations ................2 Conditions in the pastoral areas of central Mauritania (northern Brakna, northern Gorgol, central Trarza and Assaba) are beginning to deteriorate as a result of overgrazing and wind erosion. The pace of seasonal migration has picked up as herders and their animals search for better grazing lands and move closer to buyers in anticipation of the approaching Tabaski holiday (the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice). Supplies of sorghum and millet on grain markets remain limited, due largely to the shortfall in local production and the small volume of grain trade with Senegal. Transfers of Malian grain (from the 2004 and 2005 harvests) are picking up in border areas in the Southeast and in Nouakchott, keeping sorghum prices relatively stable, though prices on rural markets are trending upwards.

    U.S. AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION Pathways to Prosperity “Making Africa’s Growth Story Real in Grassroots Communities” CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATION Fiscal Year 2015 March 31, 2014 Washington, D.C. United States African Development Foundation (This page was intentionally left blank) 2 USADF 2015 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATION United States African Development Foundation THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION WASHINGTON, DC We are pleased to present to the Congress the Administration’s FY 2015 budget justification for the United States African Development Foundation (USADF). The FY 2015 request of $24 million will provide resources to establish new grants in 15 African countries and to support an active portfolio of 350 grants to producer groups engaged in community-based enterprises. USADF is a Federally-funded, public corporation promoting economic development among marginalized populations in Sub-Saharan Africa. USADF impacts 1,500,000 people each year in underserved communities across Africa. Its innovative direct grants program (less than $250,000 per grant) supports sustainable African-originated business solutions that improve food security, generate jobs, and increase family incomes. In addition to making an economic impact in rural populations, USADF’s programs are at the forefront of creating a network of in-country technical service providers with local expertise critical to advancing Africa’s long-term development needs. USADF furthers U.S. priorities by directing small amounts of development resources to disenfranchised groups in hard to reach, sensitive regions across Africa. USADF ensures that critical U.S. development initiatives such as Ending Extreme Poverty, Feed the Future, Power Africa, and the Young African Leaders Initiative reach out to those communities often left out of Africa’s growth story.
