ABSTRACT: In Part 2 of the special issue on Rivers and Water in the South, the scope expands to include not only the biophysical processes governing river systems, but also an increased emphasis on the significance of water resources for society. One of the ways in which water resources benefit society is through dams, which generate hydroelectric power and assist in flood control. However, dams also bring some negatives to the environment.
