Climate change and water resources of Africa : challenges, opportunities and impacts
Abstract
The paper focuses on the current level of water use by the various sectors and the potential and opportunities for future development. Sensitivity of the water sector to current climate variability and future climate change (i.e. likely additional pressures on water availability, accessibility and demand in Africa as well as increasing difficulty of water resource management) are discussed.
