This book contains 15 chapters dealing with the integration of ecology with hydrology at the river basin scale. The patterns and processes in the catchment including nutrients, lotic vegetation and aquatic faunal processes are covered. In addition, the benefits and risks of ecological modelling to water management and nutrient budget modelling for lakes and watershed restoration are discussed. The roles of ecohydrology in managing the savannah ecosystem, agricultural landscape, and watershed development are explored.
