Question 23
AOptions
BSolution
Lake Faguibine, located in Mali, West Africa, is a large, shallow lake that was once an important source of livelihood for local communities. However, due to prolonged droughts, reduced inflows from the Niger River (which is its main source of water), and climate change impacts, the lake has largely dried up and its basin has turned into a desertified area, severely impacting the local ecosystem and human populations. This environmental disaster highlights the vulnerability of freshwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions.
