Inhaltsangabe

The Nile River System, Africa: Ecohydrology and Management from Catchment to Coast, Volume Two provides a critical synthesis of knowledge for an important global region. It covers water availability and needs in the Nile basin, focusing on socioeconomic, hydrological and ecological aspects and the catchment-coast continuum, also providing the information needed to develop a policy for the river that is less skewed toward immediate human needs and more focused on environmental impacts. Readers will find ecological perspectives, recent stresses, the current status of the basin, and more.

The greater integration of ecological and river management themes is the main strength of this book, making it a strong reference for academics and water resources managers, as well as fishery experts, aquatic scientists and social scientists.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Nile River System, Africa: Ecohydrology and Management from Catchment to Coast a critical synthesis of knowledge, for an important global region. It covers water availability and needs in the Nile basin focusing on socio-economic, hydrological and ecological aspects and the catchment-coast continuum. As is the case for all of the world’s large riparian rivers, there are major conflicts between the different needs of humans and the environment. This book provides information needed to develop a policy for the river that is less skewed toward immediate human needs, and more focused on the environmental impacts.

The Nile River System, Africa: Ecohydrology and Management from Catchment to Coast presents ecological perspectives, recent stresses on the river and new transboundary issues. It deals with the current status of the basin and covers a number of topics not dealt with in other volumes about the Nile basin. These include ecological as well as hydrological aspects including the water quality of the Nile River, lakes and coastal zone and its impact on activities such as fisheries and irrigation. The greater integration of ecological and river management themes is the main strength of this book and as such it will be a strong reference for academics and water resources managers, as well as fishery experts, aquatic scientists and social scientists.
