Adaptive Capacity of Households to Degradation of Ecosystem Services: A Case Study in the Colombian Andes.

abstract：:The effluent from the waste stabilization ponds (WSPs) of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka Campus, is used for irrigation by poor rural farmers. There has been fear that the poorly maintained WSPs and the reuse practices are contributing to environmental degradation and health hazards. In this study the environmental...
