Flora of Somalia, Volume 3 with cummulative index to volume 1-4
The aim of the project is to cover all vascular plants known to occur in Somalia, and establish a foundation for all future plant related work in the country. This volume is the last to appaer in a series of four and covers 33 families with a total of more than 1000 species, of which 137 have been described as new within the project. Twenty eight further new species, described in the last few years, which are additional to the previuos published volumes 1, 2 and 4, are included in the appendix, along with a number of species that represent new records for the country. Indexes vernacular and scientific names conclude the volume, and a cummulative index to all four volumes is also provided.

W-02 somalia rainfall observers' manual
SWALIM is re-establishing the national manual rain-gauge network as part of its water and land information systems. The national data set formed will be used to support climate mapping, flood early warning and other hydrological studies. The data set will also be freely accessible to any interested parties. SWALIM will maintain the observations of each station in a dedicated database which will be handed over to an emerging Somali authority at the appropriate time.

Rainwater harvesting in response to water scarcity, The Lare experience
Land cover changes affect the hydrologic regime of an area, manifested at different spatial and temporal scales. This book highlights results of a technical study commissioned by RELMA-in-ICRAF focussing on the relationship between land use and the local hydrology. Field surveys and Quickbird images were used to establish the impact of land use and landcover changes in Lare Division of Nakuru District in Kenya and how these have contributed to the adoption of rainwater harvesting mainly using ponds. It has also dwelt at length on the technical and socioeconomic aspects of the runoff harvesting ponds. It is hoped that experiences learnt from here can be applied in areas of similar agro-ecological zones within the Eastern and Southern Africa region.
