		The upper section of the Pra River Basin, to the west of the Densu, is relatively flat; the topography of its lower reaches, however, resembles that of the Densu Basin and is a rich cocoa and food-producing region.

	Environmental Degradation's Effect on Infectious Diseases in Ghana
		The fact that Birim River’s water volume is thinning is an indication that both the forest’s undergrowth and overgrowth are degraded, most probably from indiscriminate diamond prospecting along its banks.
		That the banks of the Birim River are dotted with timber process sawmills could not be sheer coincidence with respect to the dwindling of water in the basin.
		One economic impact of the reduction of volume of water in the Tano River is that senior officials of the government of Ghana were in the United States last year looking for funding for a $50 million water project to serve the people who depend on the river.

	Runoff and Hydrologic Modeling
		Mettel et al, [1994] demonstrated the recomputation of pmf's for the Au Sable River using Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC-1) and updated and detailed land use data from Landsat TM resulted in 90% cost cuts in upgrading dams and spillways in the basin.
		This approach was successfully demonstrated for the large (16000 sq km) Tano River Basin in Africa and illustrates the value of remote sensing data when conventional data are not readily available.
		In a study of the impact of land use change on the Mosel River Basin, Ott et al, [1991], and Schultz, [1993] have defined Hydrologically Similar Units (HSU) by DEM data, soils maps and satellite derived land use.
