The Waters of the Nile: Hydropolitics and the Jonglei Canal, 1900-1988: Oxford Studies in African Affairs

Autor Robert O. Collins
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 1990
This is a study of the evolution of proposals to develop the Nile Basin to ensure the best use of its precious waters. The hydropolitics of the Nile Valley is the most important issue today for the future of the inhabitants of Egypt, the Sudan, Ethiopia, and East Africa. The story of `Nile Control' is the product of British, Egyptian, and Sudanese engineers and hydrologists, whose designs have determined the way of life of the millions who depend upon the Nile waters for their survival.

Recenzii

'sound and well-written review of the history of the upper Nile ... The historical material is well researched ... The author has made his story extremely readable and it will also appeal to those who read non-fiction about the travellers. officials and engineers of the imperial past. The book is the best in the field ... an excellent book and a fine example of how historical material can be made relevant to contemporary affairs.'J.A. Allan, University of London, Africa 60/4
'As an historical account which manages to maintain a sense of suspense and which is able to tell a story in a lucid and flowing way the book succeeds.'A. Trilsbach, African Affairs
'he waters of the Nile describes with obvious relish the lands and plans, dams and personalities of a highly technical subject, and makes it accessible to the general reader.'M.W. Daly, SOAS Bulletin
'Professor Collins' magisterial historical survey of the Nile debate from the beginning of this century should be essential background reading for all those concerned.'Paul Howell, Journal of African History, Volume 33, 1992
