Diversion of water flow from a floodplain wetland stream: an analysis of geomorphological setting and hydrological and ecological consequences
Article Abstract:
The environmental impacts of the hydrological and geomorphologic consequences of diversion of water within the Mkuze Wetland are investigated. A study on the Mpempe-Demazane Canal reveals that although ambitious and costly, it resulted in little downward or headward erosion, and there was minor diversion of flow.
