Health in the Senegal River Basin - Coggle Diagram
Health in the Senegal River Basin
Human Well Being
Access to freshwater
Lack of wells/filters
Disease Exposure
River remains main source of water
River water needed to grow crops
Uninhibited snail population
Repeated exposure to disease source
Access to Healthcare
Medicine Availability
Hospital/Doctor Care
GDP Growth
Crop Production
Profitability of Prawn program
Solutions
Reduced snail population will reduce disease vector
Potentially eliminate risk of infection
Reduce reinfection rates
Reduce infection to a manageable level
Adding a migration ladder at the dam
Prawn farms are a source of income
Prawn reintroduction will control snail population
Ecosystem
Freshwater Availability
Health of Crops
Disease Vector
Migration of farmers
More land use for agriculture
Snail Population
Disease Vector/Prevalence
Prawn Population
Land use
Full year crops grown
Plots/Farms moved to accommodate dam
Town/city development
Dams being built
Led to consolidation of water
Pooling allowed for snail population growth
Led to research into disease spread
Source and vectors identified
Initiative started to reintroduce prawn
Medication ineffective due to reinfection
Blocked Migration of Prawn
Lack of saltwater access for spawning
Led to prawn decimation
Two dams instead of one
