The Nile Waters
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-64754-4 (ISBN)
"Arguably, the Nile River is the most unique river in the world. It spans extremes of rainfall from being measured by meters to being measured by centimeters, from the humid tropics to the driest of deserts. Yet, thirsty people live throughout this basin and therefore the demands on its water resources are uneven. Knowing the water amounts throughout the entire Nile Basin is a critical step for governments and international treaties to avoid the "Tragedy of the Commons". Africa can embrace this future through the leadership of Prof. Awange and others like him who have devoted their careers to Africa's waters"
-Doug Alsdorf, Ph.D., Professor of Geophysics at the Ohio State University (USA).
