Short summary
Catchment response can be influenced by man’s activities as well as natural forces like climate, and understanding how stream flow is affected by such activities is important in a changing world, particularly in developing countries. Data for the Bani River in Africa show a steady decrease in the groundwater component of stream flow. This paper shows that the decrease appears to be driven by increased water use in the catchment, and has resulted in the river ceasing to flow in the dry season.
