Hydropolitical Vulnerability And Resilience Along International Waters Africa

In Africa, most major rivers, freshwater lakes, and aquifers are shared by two or more countries. These nations are becoming increasingly vulnerable to conflict, and their vulnerabilities are made more acute by climatic variations in precipitation, increasing urbanization, industrialization and environmental degradation. The concept of resilience and vulnerability as it relates to water resources is tackled in this report within the framework of sustainability and relates to the ability of the human and bio-physical systems to adapt to change.--Publisher's description.United Nations Environment Programme Staff is the author of 'Hydropolitical Vulnerability And Resilience Along International Waters Africa', published 2006 under ISBN 9789280725759 and ISBN 9280725750.
