The Nile River System, Africa : Ecohydrology and Management from Catchment to Coast EPUB

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.
