they have tried somethings to help in global warming causing droughts and one is this. In Sarah Deweerdts article on Africa global warming she said "sparse rainfall in Sahel, an area in Africa along the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. This area has experienced many long droughts, thus to combat these droughts the local government decided to build dams to trap rainfall. These dams were then connected to irrigation systems. Shortly there after harvests increased, as did cases of malaria due to the breeding grounds the dams created for mosquito's. This scenario is a glimpse into the future for the rest of the world, a "view of how global climate change can play havoc with populations' lives and livelihoods," So a long with a good possible plan becomes a catastrophic event Malaria.
