Water management and wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa

Water management and wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa 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 an 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.
