Description: Developing the Rivers of East and West Africa : An Environmental History, Paperback by Hoag, Heather J., ISBN 1441155406, ISBN-13 9781441155405, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Joag explores how rivers and riverine communities contribute to the economic, social, and political development of Africa; what role technology has played in river development; and how the value and uses of Africa's rivers have changed since the late 18th century. She focuses on places that have historically had too much water, where the problem has been how to transform water, soil, forest, fish, wildlife, and other riverine resources into economic growth. Drawing on cases from Britain's former African empire, she argues that the continent's water problems are not simple manifestations of poor rainfall or human mismanagement but are a confluence of historical, economic, social, and political circumstances.
