摘要: Water, food, energy, and the ecosystems they depend on interact with each other in highly complex interlinked ways. These interdependencies can be traced particularly well context of a river basin, which is delineated by hydrological boundaries. The interactions are shaped humans interacting nature, as such, basin characterized complex, coupled socioecological system. Niger River Basin West Africa such system, where water infrastructure development to meet growing water, energy demands may threaten productive vulnerable ecosystem. dynamic remain poorly understood. Trade-off analyses between different sectors at spatial scales needed support solution-oriented policy analysis, transboundary basins. This study assesses impact climate human/anthropogenic changes ecosystem characterizes resulting trade-offs through set generic metrics related sustainability availability. Results suggest that dam mitigate negative impacts from change hydropower generation also health some extent.
