Perception of hydrological changes and adaptation strategies in the Inner Niger Delta in Mali

摘要

The study of the social perception of flood variations showed that the farmers have a thorough knowledge of their living environment. The three main groups of actors have a similar vision; the opposite case would be problematic, given that it is the utilization of the same resource. Farmers, breeders and fishermen can find a consensus on issues related to the impact of floods variation.
