Proper understanding of the lake and changes in its physical dynamics (e.g., water level, shorelines and areal dynamics) resulting from the impacts of climate variation and climate change as well as anthropogenic (e.g., hydropower and irrigation) is important for its management as well as for strategic development before, during and after climate extremes (e.g., floods and droughts) in order to inform policy formulations, planning and mitigation measures. Owing to its sheer size, and lack of research resources commitment by regional governments that hamper its observations, however, it is a daunting task to undertake studies on Lake Victoria relying solely on in-situ “boots on the ground” measurements, which are sparse, missing in most cases, inconsistent or restricted by governmental red tapes. To unlock the potentials of Lake Victoria, this book argues for the removal | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 关键词 | Lake Monitoring; GRACE Sattelite; Lake Victoria Environmental Management; Remote Sensing of Lake Victor | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-60551-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-60553-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-60551-3 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021 |
