abstract
The Boghole Waterfowl Project was created in 1974 when a 60466 cu m impoundment was constructed. The reservoir was created to form the base facility for a migratory waterfowl habitat. Oblique and vertical photography was used to analyse the site's capability of supporting aquatic vegetation for wildlife habitat needs. Wildlife habitat planning requires the identification of information in three related areas. 1) habitat potential; 2) habitat requirement needs of a given wildlife population; and 3) species behaviour as it is influenced by the habitat. 1979, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
