Water is both an essential resource and a source of disease and
conflict in contemporary Africa. And we begin to learn that far
distant processes of consumption and pollution can have their
impact on the water systems of Africa: global warming produced by
the material culture of the first world threatens the weather
systems and very survival of developing countries. In this context,
this volume - the product of an expert meeting at Cornell
University's Institute for African Development - traces and tracks
the dynamics of the contemporary hydropolitics of Africa.The volume
contains a variety of approaches to the study of the organisation
of water within Africa ranging from technical essays on water borne
diseases, through institutional analyses of the legal and political
arrangements around the distribution of water to social policy
analyses of the unmet demand for water amongst Africa's poor. Taken
as a whole, the volume provides the reader with a useful reference
work on the contemporary hydropolitics of Africa whilst
simultaneously providing a lively introduction to a critical and
much neglected area of African development policy.
