The LSMS surveys have been used to assess household welfare, to understand household behavior, and to evaluate the welfare impact of various government policies. These surveys, however, lack well-designed instruments for understanding farm-level adaptation behavior to climate variability, in particular water resource variability and stress in agriculture. For the purpose of improving the quality, relevance and sustainability of smallholder agricultural data in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) project was started with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and is implemented by the LSMS team in the Development Research Group (DECRG) of the World Bank. Under the LSMS-ISA initiative, the World Bank is supporting seven countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, namely Ethiopia, Malawi, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda, to establish systems of multi-topic, panel household surveys with a strong focus on agriculture. The surveys collect essential information to improve our understanding of economic development in Africa, particularly with regards to agriculture and linkages between farm and non-farm activities.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEAGRICULTURAL PRACTICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAMOUNT OF RAINFALLANNUAL RAINFALLAQUIFERAQUIFER RECHARGEAQUIFERSARID REGIONSASSESSMENT OF GROUNDWATERASSET OWNERSHIPAVAILABILITY OF WATERAVERAGE RAINFALLBOREHOLESCANALSCHANNELSCLIMATECLIMATE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGESCLIMATE IMPACTCLIMATE INFORMATIONCLIMATE MODELSCLIMATE MONITORINGCLIMATE PATTERNSCLIMATE PREDICTIONCLIMATE TRENDSCLIMATE VARIABILITYCLIMATE VARIATIONSCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCLIMATIC DATACLIMATIC IMPACTSCLIMATIC PHENOMENACLIMATIC REGIONSCLIMATIC SHOCKSCLIMATIC VARIABILITYCLIMATIC ZONESCLIMATOLOGYCLOUDSCOMMUNITY MEMBERSCONDUCTIVITYCOVERINGCROP CULTIVATIONCROP DIVERSIFICATIONCROP FAILURECROP PRODUCTIONCROP YIELDSDAILY PRECIPITATIONDECISION MAKINGDISCHARGEDISTRIBUTION OF RAINFALLDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDROUGHTDRY CLIMATEENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTEVAPORATIONEVAPOTRANSPIRATIONEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFARMERSFARMINGFARMING PRACTICESFLOODSFOGFOOD SECURITYFOREST METEOROLOGYFORESTRYFUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOSGAUGINGGAUGING STATIONSGLOBAL CLIMATEGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL PRECIPITATION CLIMATOLOGYGRAZINGGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER DATAGROUNDWATER IRRIGATIONGROUNDWATER RECHARGEGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER STORAGEHAILHYDROLOGIC CYCLEHYDROLOGYICEIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON AGRICULTUREIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION DEVELOPMENTIRRIGATION MANAGEMENTIRRIGATION SYSTEMSIRRIGATION WATERLAKESLAND USELAND USE PRACTICESLIVESTOCK MANAGEMENTLIVESTOCK PRODUCTIONLOCAL CLIMATELOCAL CLIMATE CONDITIONSLOCAL CLIMATE DATALOCAL RAINFALLLOCALITIESLONG-TERM RAINFALLLOW RAINFALLMEAN MONTHLY TEMPERATUREMEAN TEMPERATUREMEASUREMENTSMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMETEOROLOGYMOISTUREMOISTURE CONSERVATIONMONSOON CLIMATENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESOCEANSPRESSUREPROGRAMSRAINRAIN GAUGERAIN GAUGE DATARAIN GAUGE NETWORKSRAIN SHADOWRAINFALLRAINFALL AMOUNTSRAINFALL DATARAINFALL ESTIMATIONRAINFALL EVENTSRAINFALL INTENSITYRAINFALL MEASUREMENTRAINFALL PATTERNSRAINFALL VARIABILITYRAINFALL VARIATIONRAINWATERRAINWATER HARVESTINGRAINY SEASONRAINY SEASONSREMOTE SENSINGRESERVOIRSRIVER BASINRIVERSRUNOFFSALINITYSEASEASONAL RAINFALLSEASONAL RIVERSSEEPAGESHALLOW WATERSHOWERSSLEETSNOWSOIL CONSERVATIONSOIL MOISTURESPRINGSSTRATIFICATIONSTREAMFLOWSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER BODIESSURFACE WATER RESOURCESTEMPERATE CLIMATESTEMPERATURETEMPERATURE DATATEMPERATURESTEMPORAL RESOLUTIONTEMPORAL VARIABILITYTEMPORAL VARIATIONSVARIABILITY OF RAINFALLVILLAGE PONDSWARM SEASONWATER AVAILABILITYWATER BODYWATER CONSERVATIONWATER FLOW RATEWATER FLOWSWATER LEVELWATER MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER SCARCITYWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLYWATER TABLEWATER USEWATER USE PATTERNSWATERSHEDWELLSWorld Bank10.1596/12764
