Okavango River
Rivers throughout the world run down to the coast, where their waters join the sea. But the Okavango is different: its waters also flow into a 'sea' but it is a vast sea of dry sand. 'Okavango River: the Flow of a Lifeline' describes its birth, passage and more.

Population Dynamics and Supply Systems
This book focuses on the links between population dynamics and environment. Demographic changes, e.g. population growth and decline, urbanization and migration are analyzed by researchers from different natural and social sciences, focusing on complex interactions between population dynamics and transformations of water and food supply systems. Empirical case studies in selected regions in Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa from prehistory to present permit to identify specific problem constellations. Solutions are presented in order to enhance the capability of supply systems to adapt to demographic changes.
A Preliminary Profile of the Kavango Region in Namibia
The bulk of the report consists of maps and graphs derived largely from analyses of recent surveys, censuses and mapping projects. Brief comments are offered to help users interpret the analyses and to highlight major issues and processes in the region, especially those relating to natural resources.
Integrated Watershed Management
Headwaters are fragile environments threatened by anthropogenic actions. The regeneration of headwaters calls for a practical approach through integrated environmental management. This book discusses various issues concerning headwater regions of the world under wide-ranging themes: climate change impacts, vegetal cover, sub-surface hydrology, catchment and streamflow hydrology, pollution, water quality and limnology, remote sensing and GIS, environmental impact assessment and mitigation, socio-economic impacts, public participation, education and management, and integrated watershed management. This book aims to bring about an awareness in sustainable regeneration of headwater regions and particularly highlighting the problems of environmental management in highlands and headwaters. These regions consist of great reserves of natural resources which need to be exploited and managed sustainably.
