Water for Life: Experiences from East and Southern African Countries

Water for Life: Experiences from East and Southern African Countries presents a comprehensive examination of the pivotal role water plays in sustaining life, promoting public health, and driving socio-economic development across East and Southern Africa. The book addresses pressing issues such as water scarcity, pollution, and ineffective resource management, all of which are exacerbated by climate change and rapid population growth. Through detailed case studies from countries including Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania, it showcases grassroots innovations like community-driven water governance, sustainable irrigation practices, and cross-border water-sharing frameworks. By integrating scientific, technological, and policy perspectives, the book provides a critical resource for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners seeking to advance water security and environmental sustainability in the region.
