Summary:

Freshwater scarcity is caused by a long history of poor management of water resources. Typically, humans simultaneously use the same limited water resource for multiple purposes without considering the cumulative impact on this resource. This book elucidates the chemical health status of the Volta Lake ecosystem within the framework of changes in chemical parameters as potential indicators of pollution to ensure the appropriate management of the lake to satisfy the changing demand placed on the lake, safeguard the quality of life of its users, protect its ecosystem and preserve it for future generations. This book adopts an integrated approach to address the general chemical health status of the lake for ecosystem sustainability as well as its trophic state and primary productivity to significantly inform future research needs and approaches for effective and sustainable management.
