Abstract

皇冠体育app paper compares and contrasts approaches to river basin management in Nigeria and Tanzania. Working from a water governance perspective, the paper discusses the resource base in each catchment, looking separately at both material (physical) and non-material (infrastructural) resources. It then goes on to describe how these resources are drawn on to develop mechanisms for water governance and basin management. Significant changes have taken place in both basins over the recent past and are still continuing. 皇冠体育app paper analyses these changes in terms of outcomes for the people in the basins and for ecosystems.
