| dc.description.abstract | The following research focuses on the management of the Niger River in the West-African state of Niger. The analysis aims to understand how Niger hydrological resources management manifests its deficiency in Water Security (WS). WS is a theoretical framework elaborated by David Grey, Senior Water Advisor, and Claudia Sadoff, Lead Economist, of The World Bank in 2007. Water Security means that a country should achieve a balance between water availability and water-related risks for human-made activities if the latter is not achieved, the country is considered water-insecure and “water-related issues will recurrently jeopardize its development” (Grey & Sadoff, 2007). To answer the research question, Water Security has been decomposed in eight core concept - Water Security, Ecosystem, Valuation, Institutions, Infrastructures, Minimum Platform Of Investments, Management, Climate Change - to better describes Niger problematic situation. The results highlighted a dramatic situation in which the development of the State is recurrently jeopardized by poor managerial choices in every core aspect. The ultimate goal was to start a reflection about a better approach to hydrological resources in the country. Hopefully, one capable of close the gaps and ultimately improve the development of Niger. | en_US |
