In spite of its low emission of carbon dioxide Africa, specifically Sub-Saharan Africa is the most vulnerable to the effect of climate change. Many countries have already moved toward water scarcity and Burkina-Faso is ...

The Niger River is the sole permanent surface water used for agriculture and drinking water supply for the area of Niamey, Niger, West Africa. Given that the water distribution network does not cover the entire populated ...

This work focused on quantification of the effects of climate change on the hydrodynamic functioning of the Ouémé Delta through the following steps. First of all, an analysis of the current state of extreme climate risks ...

This study assessed the impact of climate and land use/land cover (LULC) change on the water balance components in the Vea catchment, West Africa using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The specific objectives ...

This study was carried out to investigate the hydrological response of the Komadougu-Yobe basin to climate change using daily observed data and outputs from regional climate models. Analyses carried out in this study include ...

This study investigated the impacts of climate change and the sensitivity of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on river flow and sediment yield in the Black Volta River Basin (BVRB) using a modelling approach, with the ...

A proper estimation of future water availability is vital information for water planners. However, most contemporary quantitative hydrological predictions are mostly streamflow-centred which makes them fundamentally ...

In this study we assess the impact of climate change on water resources by using uncorrected and bias corrected data from the regional climate model REMO simulations over the Senegal River Basin (SRB). Both simulations ...

This study was carried out on the Comoe River Basin (78,000 km2) in West Africa where climate change is supposed to affect many sectors like water resources, biodiversity, food, energy, housing, tourism, transportation and ...

Northern Ghana is mostly underlain by a crystalline rock aquifer. Like in many arid and semi-arid areas, surface water is largely unavailable in the prolonged dry season. Therefore groundwater appears to be a good alternative ...
