Abstract
A REPORT* dealing with the water resources of Central and East Africa has recently been prepared by Prof. F. Debenham, professor of geography at the University of Cambridge, after a stay of about eight months in Africa at the suggestion of the Colonial Office. This report, which will be considered by Colonial Governments, is about 110,000 words in length not only is it a most readable discussion of water-resource problems, but also it throws a strong light on problems of economic and social change. The area covered includes the Bechuanaland Protectorate, Northern Rhodesia, the Nyasaland Protectorate, Tanganyika Territory, Kenya and the Uganda Protectorate.
