This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the task of the engineer, as of any other professional person, to do everything that is reasonably possible to analyse the difficulties with which his or her client is confronted, and on this basis to design solutions and implement these in practice. The distributed hydrological model is, correspondingly, the means for doing everything that is reasonably possible - of mobilising as much data and testing it with as much knowledge as is economically feasible - for the purpose of analysing problems and of designing and implementing remedial measures in the case of difficulties arising within the hydrological cycle. Thus the aim of distributed hydrologic modelling is to make the fullest use of cartographic data, of geological data, of satellite data, of stream discharge measurements, of borehole data, of observations of crops and other vegetation, of historical records of floods and droughts, and indeed of everything else that has ever been recorded or remembered, and then to apply to this everything that is known about meteorology, plant physiology, soil physics, hydrogeology, sediment transport and everything else that is relevant within this context. Of course, no matter how much data we have and no matter how much we know, it will never be enough to treat some problems and some situations, but still we can aim in this way to do the best that we possibly can.

Download or read book The Kingdom of Waalo written by Boubacar Barry and published by Diasporic Africa Press. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated along the Senegal River, the Kingdom of Waalo was the smallest of the Wolof states of Senegal, but it illustrates the broader consequences of a shift from trans-Saharan to trans-Atlantic commerce during a time of competing European, Muslim, and indigenous African forces. From the establishment of a French trading post in 1659 to the early nineteenth century, the history of Waalo was closely tied to French interests in St. Louis, popular revolutionary Islamic movements, and internal rivalries between competing royal families and provincial leaders. Stimulating Waalo's socio-political changes were the devastations and fluctuations of the Atlantic slave trade, as well as the Muslim attack on its aristocracy. Torn by internal divisions, devastated by French and Berber incursions, Waalo's institutions and its economy declined. Residents of Waalo sought their own solutions only for external agents to ruin their efforts. By the nineteenth century, the French attempted to establish a plantation economy in Waalo, culminating in their military control of the state and the Senegal valley. This newly translated study is a vital tool in our understanding of Senegal's history, its place in the era of trans-Saharan and trans-Atlantic commerce, and its development into the present. The book should be of value to African studies scholars, anthropologists, and historians of Africa, colonialism, empire, and post-colonialism.
Download or read book Scientific Data for Decision Making Toward Sustainable Development Senegal River Basin Case Study written by Senegal National Committee for CODATA and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-02-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific databases relating to the environment, natural resources, and public health on the African continent are, for various reasons, difficult to create and manage effectively. Yet the creation of these and other types of databasesâ€"and their subsequent use to produce new information and knowledge for decision-makersâ€"is essential to advancing scientific and technical progress in that region and to its sustainable development. The U.S. National Committee for CODATA collaborated with the Senegalese National CODATA Committee to convene a "Workshop on Scientific Data for Decision-Making Toward Sustainable Development: Senegal River Basin Case Study," which was held on 11-15 March 2002, in Dakar, Senegal. The workshop examined multidisciplinary data sources and data handling in the West Africa region, using the Senegal River Basin as a case study, to determine how these data are or can be better used in decision making related to sustainable development.

Download or read book Senegal written by Great Britain. Foreign Office. Historical Section and published by . This book was released on 1920 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In preparation for the peace conference that was expected to follow World War I, in the spring of 1917 the British Foreign Office established a special section responsible for preparing background information for use by British delegates to the conference. Senegal is Number 102 in a series of more than 160 studies produced by the section, most of which were published after the conclusion of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference. Senegal was one of the oldest and most important of France's African colonies. French activity on the African coast at the mouth of the Senegal River began as far back as 1626, and settlement by the Royal Senegal Company began in the early 18th century. The colony came under British control at times but was restored to France in 1814. By the French government decree of October 18, 1904, Senegal became part of the Government-General of West Africa. The book covers physical and political geography, political history, social and political conditions, and economic conditions. The section on social and political conditions is very brief, as the topics of religious conditions, military organization, and public education in Senegal are covered in Number 100 in the series, French West Africa. The population of the colony is given as 1,259,920 (1916), with the main ethnic groups being the Wolof, Peul (i.e., Pular or Fulani), and Serer. The economic section stresses the importance of the great commercial and naval port of Dakar, which also was linked by rail to the coastal city and port of Saint Louis. Agriculture was the colony's main industry, and ground nuts its primary export. Deforestation and desertification are listed as serious environmental challenges. The colony became the independent Republic of Senegal in 1960.

Its capital city is Dakar, located on the Cape Verde peninsula, and its official language is French, but Wolof is widely spoken throughout the country. The country has a rich history dating back to the 7th century, and it was a major center of the transatlantic slave trade. Senegal gained independence from France in 1960, and since then, it has been a democratic country, with multiparty politics and a diverse economy. The country has a population of over 17 million people, and it is one of the most stable countries in the region. Senegal has a diverse landscape, ranging from sandy beaches to fertile river valleys and arid deserts. The country is known for its music, dance, and art, with traditional music such as mbalax and African reggae being popular around the world. Senegal is also known for its cuisine, which includes seafood, stews, and rice dishes. Religion plays a significant role in Senegalese culture, with a majority of the population practicing Islam, but other religions such as Catholicism and Vodou are also present. The country has a rich cultural heritage, and it is home to many museums and historic sites that highlight its history and traditions. Senegal is a vibrant and dynamic country, with a unique cultural identity and a bright future.
