Current water-related legislation and policies have moved beyond blue (water allocation) and grey (waste water treatment) water concerns to incorporate the green water concept of additional water use by fast-growing trees; it may require further change to incorporate rainbow water relations as evident in recent literature on short-cycle rainfall derived from evapotranspiration over land. Specific teleconnections relate rainfall dynamics at any specific site to land use and sea conditions elsewhere. Government-mandated water use charges for payments for ecosystem services (PES) exist in some African countries but their use in enhancing actual water related ecosystem services covering the full hydrological cycle is still evolving as rainbow water science is new. specialized AFRIQUE 062 021 095 6 41-47 2014 1877-3435 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010061909 10.1016/j.cosust.2013.10.008 1877-3435 [F B010061909] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010061909 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2014/05/010061909.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2014-05-28 2017-08-23 fdi:010061909 fre
