This paper sought to know if the constant supply of water to
the River Logone, in a very low altitude area, from the wet tropical
highlands in central Cameroon and the Adamawa plateau is a mixedblessing
to the inhabitants of Mayo Danay. Data was gathered
through field enquiry and discussions with administrative authorities
in October 2014. Results depict that a number of activities like
farming, fishing, animal rearing and transport in the area depend on
the River Logone despite that it is a source of floods and facilitates
the spreading of malaria parasite. Conclusively, it is actually a mixedblessing
to the people, necessitating measures to make it less
hazardous.
