Water flow pathways and the water balance within a head-water catchment containing a dambo: inferences drawn from hydrochemical investigations
Dambos, seasonally saturated wetlands, are widespread in headwater catchments in sub-Saharan Africa. It is widely believed that they play an important role in regional hydrology but, despite research conducted over the last 25 years, their hydrological functions remain poorly understood. To improve...
