Description

Explore a vital evaluation of water resource development in Africa with Wasting the Rain (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1992, this book examines the history and effectiveness of modern, large-scale water projects. Adams provides a deep look into why many massive developments have failed to meet their goals and offers a different path forward. The text argues that successful development depends on engaging with local communities and utilizing their environmental knowledge. By focusing on the skills and needs of people directly affected, such as small farmers, the book demonstrates how ingenious water projects can be created. This approach is not limited to Africa; the principles discussed can be applied to water management challenges worldwide. This Routledge Revival edition makes these important lessons accessible for students, researchers, and professionals interested in planning and resource management.
