Studies on sustainable management of headwater resources in India and Africa -- Environmental impact assessment in the headwater regions of India and Africa -- Climate change and catchment modelling: studies from the headwater regions of Kenya
Annotation Headwaters are the source of freshwater resources, the margins of drainage basins, and the first and zero order basins that surround every catchment. The challenge is to define appropriate, self-sustainable, management strategies and structures for these lands that meet the needs of the headwater habitat, including its human inhabitants, and the needs of habitats downstream. The contributors to this book strive to anticipate emerging and future problems; to discover integrated solutions to the problems already caused by land degradation, natural hazards and development processes; and to help develop better land management, environmental protection and landscape regeneration practices and policies. Sustainable Management of Headwater Resources provides an understanding of current and prior situations and provides scientific analyses of local and regional headwater issues in India and Africa. The authors analyses the current situation through field experiments that provide reliable information on the status of headwater resources in these regions
