Inception Report of the Integrated Water Resource Management Plan
The present project is a further development of an initial intervention by GAA in the Dur-Dur Valley. This second phase seeks to contribute to the stabilisation and improvement of rural livelihoods in Awadal region based on the sustainable use of natural resources. The project area covers the entire Dur-Dur watershed, which is situated within the Districts of Borama, Baki and Lughaya. The project is designed to enable communities in the watershed to manage natural resources and farming systems increasingly in a sustainable, efficient and equitable manner. A major investment of the project is to develop an Integrated Water Resource Management Plan (IWRMP) in close collaboration with land-users and administrative bodies.

River variability and complexity
River Variability and Complexity presents a new approach to the understanding of river variability. It provides examples of river variability and explains the reasons for them, including fluvial response to human activities. Understanding the mechanisms of variability is important for geomorphologists, geologists, river engineers and sedimentologists as they attempt to interpret ancient fluvial deposits or anticipate river behavior at different locations and through time. This book provides an excellent background for graduates, researchers and professionals.br � A concise new approach to the understanding of river variability, building on the author's 40 years experience of river geomorphology br � Includes helpful reference tables and charts for the study of river characteristics (type) and behaviour (dynamics) br � Includes a discussion of the unintended consequences of human actions and develops a hypothesis regarding the effect of river characteristics on human behaviour
