The Bacanga River Estuary and the construction of its dam

This book presents methods for environmental characterisation of estuarine ecosystems especially in the Bacanga River estuary whose natural dynamics have been altered by the construction of a dam there. The book will provide the reader with knowledge of methods that can determine the geochemical and water quality of an estuarine ecosystem as well as identifying the effects of a dam on the quality of an estuary and consequently on the fishing activity carried out by the riverside population. It also includes a set of images that show how the local landscape around the dam has changed over the course of 60 years. However the author aims to provide the reader with important information for professional development and the development of environmental knowledge of an estuarine ecosystem. Have a great read.
