Résumé :
|
This volume provides a timely overview of the Nile system - the White Nile, the Blue Nile and the main Nile - together with the lakes they connect, Victoria, Albert and Tana for example.It discusses the areas they flow through, particularly the Sudd and the roles of the different dams and reservoirs. The authors draw on earlier works, some from the nineteenth century and on the vital records of rainfall, water level and flow that have been collected at various stations throughout the basin, in order to paint a detailed hydrological picture of the regime of the Nile and its surroundings. The book presents an account of the hydrology of the whole basin, dealing with each tributary in turn but drawing attention to links between reaches.
