Water Management and Wetlands in Sub-Saharan Africa
by M.C. Acreman and G.E. Hollis
Sub-Saharan is one of the world's poorest regions and many people
live by exploiting the natural resources of its rich wetlands. This
book explores the relationships between hydrological and ecological
functioning of these wetlands and documents the implications for
resource availability, health and social welfare of water management,
through the construction and operation of dams, embankments and
diversions.
