CCR / Resource / 3: Rural Water Conservation, Monsoons and Water Restoration

Research Associated with Issue #18 of the Climate Catalogue Reader

These links pertain largely to climatological and environmental research.

Welcome to the Climate Catalogue Resource (CCR / Resource / #). These resources are an appendix to published (or soon-to-be-published) Issues of the Climate Catalogue Reader, and provide additional information for those who might be more academically inclined. On such posts, you will find articles, journals and a lot of the overtly technical information that may not make it onto the Reader. If you want more such content, consider subscribing and downloading the app below.

This particular post is a collection of articles, information or points of research associated with Issue #18 of the Climate Catalogue Reader. The links are organized under 3 heads corresponding to each section of the Issue. While all the links here are open source and freely available resources, I have also linked publication lists by the authors that you might be able to access through an institutional or organization’s account.

Thank you for subscribing to the Climate Catalogue Reader. This is the third of (hopefully) several resource links that I will be posting as the more academic back-end of the Climate Catalogue Reader. You can search the Climate Catalogue Archives for “CCR / Resource” for more resources. If you have received this post in the mail via Substack, please inform me, as a grave error has occurred.

If this resource was helpful in identifying points of information and furthering your personal research, please share it and leave a comment below - I would love to get in touch.
