Chapter 6 deals with Africa's hydro power problems and prospects impacted by climate evident on the continents' population. The hydro and wave power potential of the African subcontinent has hardly influenced the alleviation of nation's poverty level. In this chapter we chronicle the influence of climate, role of the dams and reservoirs, document people's problems and prospects, profile hydro and wave potential for power generation, and the future of both hydro and wave power for Africa and finally their role in sustainability of this continent's growth.
