Jenness, J.; Dooley, J.; Aguilar-Manjarrez, J.; Riva, C. ABSTRACT This report represents a follow-up activity based on the recommendations by the
Committee for Inland Fisheries of Africa (CIFA). The report is an update of an
earlier project led by the Aquatic Resource Management for Local Community
Development Programme (ALCOM) entitled the “Southern African Development
Community Water Resource Database” (SADC-WRD). The body of work
presented in this publication represents both an expansion to the earlier data and
an enhancement of the original SADC-WRD analytic interface. Extended to cover
the entire African continent, the new set of data and tools has been entitled the
“African Water Resource Database” (AWRD). The overall aim of the AWRD is
to facilitate responsible inland aquatic resource management. It thus provides a
valuable instrument to promote food security. |
