The 7-day Rainfall Estimates (RFE) for the week ending November 7th indicate that there has been sporadic rainfall on areas of the Ethiopian catchments of both the Juba and Shabelle rivers. The RFE also indicates light rainfall in Somalia on the Juba and Shabelle catchments.
The total reported catch from Bulo Burti for the last 7 days was 7mm. Rains have been reported on the Lower Shabelle around Kurtunwarrey. There has still been no rain in Luuq and Bardhere.
The rainfall forecast for the coming week is for up to 45 mm of rain in the Ethiopian catchments and for between 10-20 mm in the Southern Somalia.
Flood risk for the forecast period is considered minimal. However, careful monitoring of the river stages is necessary, especially on the Juba following observed rainfall in the Ethiopian highlands of juba
basin.
The 7-day Rainfall Estimates (RFE) for the week ending November 13th indicate low rainfall in the upper catchments of both rivers.
No rains were reported in Bulo Burti and Belet Weyne for the last week. No rain has been reported in Luuq and Bardhere. 76mm of rain fell was reported from Buale over the weekend.

This report is an end-of-project (EOP) evaluation of the emergency water rehabilitation project between August 14 to September 5 2005 in Bakol and Bay regions. ADRA has been implementing Emergency rehabilitation and Institutional support of water points project in Bakol and Bay regions, Somalia since the year 2000. br Among the project's objectives are: to increase availability and accessibility of Safe water to 15 L/person/day in drought affected districts of Bay and Bakol districts. It also seeks to improve communities' environmental sanitation and personal hygiene, through health and hygiene education.
The objective of the study is to asses the problems, opportunities, priorities and the constraints of the Somalia's rural sector, to develop a strategic approach towards medium to long-term support and investment provided by donors to the marginal rural areas to northern and central Somalia and to avail the technical documents for the tendering of related intervention programmes()
In The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics, Mitchell (the author) takes users deeper, showing how an emerging set of tools that rely on spatial statistics provides GIS users the capability to conduct detailed, mathematical analysis of geographic information, This second volume introduces statistical tools, geared specifically for geographic analysis, that are relatively new to GIS software packages and thus to most GIS users. It shows the tools in use in many different applications, explains which tools are best with which situations, and provides guidance on interpreting the results you get. The ESRI Guide to GIS Analysis, Volume 2: Spatial Measurements and Statistics focuses on four fundamental tasks of statistical analysis. These are: calculating the center, dispersion, and trend, Identifying patterns, Identifying clusters and Analyzing geographic relationships.
This handbook makes available information on the most useful trees and shrubs in Kenya.

The comprehensive species descripions are supplimented with lists of common names in many Kenyan languages and lists and indexes of scientific names. the book will be helpful for extensive agents at all levels for those n educational research institutions and for anyone interested in growing and managing trees and shrubs, whether to develop a sustainable farming system, restore the environment, or to engage in growing trees aas a bussiness.
The present project is a further development of an initial intervention by GAA in the Dur-Dur Valley. This second phase seeks to contribute to the stabilisation and improvement of rural livelihoods in Awadal region based on the sustainable use of natural resources. The project area covers the entire Dur-Dur watershed, which is situated within the Districts of Borama, Baki and Lughaya. The project is designed to enable communities in the watershed to manage natural resources and farming systems increasingly in a sustainable, efficient and equitable manner. A major investment of the project is to develop an Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP) in close collaboration with land-users and administrative bodies.
