Tropical lakes (natural and man-made), environmental change impacts:
climate, water balance, hydrology, water management, geomorphology and soils, wetlands, catchment management, human impact, land use changes, land degradation, soil erosion, sediment budget, soil and water conservation, ecosystem services, aquatic ecology, hydropower, impact of large dams, food production chain, waste(water) management,…
Natural and man-made lakes in the tropics play a crucial role for the livelihood of many people. Due to climatic and land use changes, these water bodies may be threatened : e.g. increased water demand or climate change leading to a shift in the water balance and lake levels, increased land degradation and soil erosion in the riparian zones leading to sediment pollution and deposition in the lakes, thereby reducing their storage capacity, change in ecosystem services and hence the livelihood for the people that depend on these lakes.
