Title ‘Afrikaanse boeren hebben betere weersvoorspellingen nodig’ Media name/outlet Delta Media type Web Country/Territory Netherlands Date 12/10/21 Description Wat Afrikaanse boeren nodig hebben zijn betere weersvoorspellingen, meent hoogleraar watermanagement Nick van de Giesen (Civiele Techniek en Geowetenschappen). Hij was in 2013 een van de initiatiefnemers van het project Tahmo (Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory), met als doel om twintigduizend goedkope weerstations te installeren in Afrikaanse landen.

The cost is a fraction of the $54,000 the Kenya Meteorological Department said it pays for its stations.
