| Abstract |
This document is an amalgamation of information collected over the past twenty years on the limnology and hydrology of Lakes Tanganyika and Malawi. Information on geology, climatology, water balance, hydro-dynamics, nutrient dynamics and biotic environment are provided for each lake in an accessible form, with several figures and diagrams. Extensive bibliographies as well as overviews of the history of limnological research activities are also included.
This monograph is a companion volume to a previous one on Lake Victoria published in 1995. Both have been prepared in the framework of the International Hydrological Programme (IHP) as a contribution to the improvement of scientific knowledge of the hydrology and limnology of the Great Lakes of Africa.
