      abstract = {This book employs a suite of remotely sensed products and  advanced technologies to provide the first comprehensive  space-based sensing of Lake Victoria, the world's second  largest freshwater lake that supports a livelihood of more  than 42 million people, modulates regional climate, but  faces myriads of challenges. Proper understanding of the  lake and changes in its physical dynamics (e.g., water  level, shorelines and areal dynamics) resulting from the  impacts of climate variation and climate change as well as  anthropogenic (e.g., hydropower and irrigation) is  important for its management as well as for strategic  development before, during and after climate extremes  (e.g., floods and droughts) in order to inform policy  formulations, planning and mitigation measures. Owing to  its sheer size, and lack of research resources commitment  by regional governments that hamper its observations,  however, it is a daunting task to undertake studies on Lake  Victoria relying solely on in-situ "boots on the ground"  measurements, which are sparse, missing in most cases,  inconsistent or restricted by governmental red tapes. The  book is useful to those in water resources management and  policy formulations, hydrologists, environmentalists,  engineers and researchers},
