Abstract
Water resources management is particularly complex in parts of the developing world due to problems such as limited use of technology, highly variable and changing climates, weak institutional structures, poverty, the prevalence of water-related diseases, over-reliance on agricultural livelihoods, limited markets, and growing urbanization and populations. As shown by several case studies in Africa, watershed management has the potential to be effective if integrated assessment addressing these issues is carried out.
