Analysis of Rainfall Trends and Its Relationship with SST Signals in the Lake Tana Basin, Ethiopia by Tesfay Mekonnen Weldegerima, Tadesse Terefe Zeleke, Belay Simane Birhanu, Benjamin Frederick Zaitchik, Zewdu Alamineh Fetene

“…The assessment of rainfall trends indicates that the amount of annual rainfall in the Lake Tana basin is increasing, but the rate of increase is not statistically significant. Seasonal analysis reveals that the smallest amount of rainfall occurs in the Bega season, and this season is getting drier with time. …”

Submerged Groundwater Discharges as Source of Fecal Material in Protected Karstic Coastal Areas by Cristian Kantun Manzano, Flor Arcega-Cabrera, Morgane Derrien, Elsa Noreña-Barroso, Jorge Herrera-Silveira

“…Results demonstrate that (1) submerged groundwater discharge flux velocity and direction vary between hydrological season, exhibiting higher flow rates in Nortes season contrary to dry season and (2) the presence of coprostanol and epicoprostanol (anthropogenic fecal matter markers) in sediments surrounding the submerged groundwater discharges provides proof of allochthonous anthropogenic fecal material in a protected area, probably from remote inland sites. …”
