As wetlands in sub-Saharan Africa often play a vital role in supporting the livelihood and well-being of rural populations their sustainable management is critical. In many instances however, sustainable management of these ecosystems is hindered by a lack of information. For large, inaccessible wetlands Earth Observation data may provide the only practical means of obtaining this information, especially for mapping and monitoring spatial and temporal characteristics. These issues have been addressed at priority wetland sites, vulnerable to both climatic variability and agricultural activities (both subsistence and commercial) n eight countries in southern Africa; here we report outcomes from two of the larger wetlands where increased population pressure and exploitation of resources within the wetlands and the surrounding catchments are leading to serious degradation and loss of biodiversity and inter-linked ecosystem services. A combination of GPS, GIS, aerial photographs and satellite remote sensing data at multiple scales, as well as ground based information, were used to describe the ecological characteristics of these sites, and to map the spatial distribution of the major land cover types. The maps provide information which can be used to assist managers in making decisions about future land uses in wetlands that are intensively used for agriculture and fisheries. The land cover and land use analyses will also provide the basis for livelihood assessments and management interventions.

A small agricultural watershed on sloping lands (around 50 ha) in Northern Vietnam is equipped with 5 runoff measurement stations named weir. Each weir is representative of one vegetation cover (forest, fodder, cassava and old fallow). There is no relationship between bed load and rainfall amount due to a threshold process, but it is directly linked to the vegetation cover. In 2006, bed load losses are quite much important on the cassava crop (879 kg/ha/yr) than at the other weirs: 131 kg/ha/yr for old fallow, 83 kg/ha/yr for pluriannual plantation and 52 kg/ha/yr for forest. From some event measurements, the mean suspended load during the rising peak was a range 0.4-2.9 g/l with a SM peak around 3 to 8 g/l; the suspended load during the base flow was around 10-20 mg/l. It is impossible to predict the SM load with the discharge. For each weir, the best correlation is between SM load and Rindex emphasizing the duration and the amount of the rain event. The calculation of suspended load confirms the soil loss by suspended load is much more important than by bed load, even if the 95% of suspended load occurs during the peak events. On the whole watershed, the erosion amount by suspended load is 1.2 t/ha for 0.6 t/ha for bed load. More trees are in the basin, less is the suspended load; and at the opposite, the agricultural practices increase the amount of suspended load.
