Description:
\nMultidisciplinary in nature, this study draws on the fields of hydrology, ecology and environmental economics. Hydrological interventions (i.e. dams and irrigation schemes) aim to increase economic independence and food security in the unstable Sahel environment. Tapping the Niger\u2019s flow, however, is not without consequences. The costs and benefits of expensive hydrological structures have to be carefully balanced. In this study we incorporate downstream interests into our analysis. Downstream outcomes are inherently difficult to quantify, and are therefore often omitted in similar enquiries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
