The effects of climate change on water will present some of the greatest challenges the world will face. This will be in the form of increased activity at the extremes, including droughts and extreme rain events that cause floods. It will also be characterized by greater variability, meaning more unpredictable rainfall patterns. Therefore, sustainably managing water resources will be of critical importance to ensure people across the world have access to water for their daily needs. Adaptation in this sector can take shape at a variety of levels, from households employing techniques to harvest rainwater, all the way to entire watersheds, where ecosystem based adaptation can improve the ability of natural systems to function effectively, thus securing water resources on a regional scale.
One of the areas in Uganda that is severely affected and highly vulnerable to extreme landslides and flooding is Eastern Uganda in Mpologoma catchment. Mpologoma catchment covers 7,862 square kilometres of land area and 1,127 square kilometres of water area. The catchment is also characterized by a
The Project will operate in the Adwaac, Deydey-Weyn, Medeho catchment areas and to a lesser extent in the Petit Bara/Ambouli and Grand Bara basins (six basins), belonging respectively to the regions of Tadjourah, Ali-Sabieh, Obock, Arta and Dikhil. These areas are characterized by high poverty rates
The project focuses on improving safe access to water under emergency situations by sourcing the most appropriate and cost-efficient existing solutions under a competitive system.
The aim is to develop urban points for water distribution that can function under a catastrophe and are easily replicable in other
Erratic rainfall and poor water management practices have a direct negative impact on the water availability in the rural communities of Binga and Buhera districts, located in the Lower Gwayi and Upper Save catchments of Zimbabwe. As a result, water sources often dry up during the
The overall main objective is to enhance climate resilience and build adaptive capacity toward climate change for vulnerable community through sustainable integrated watershed governance in Indigenous People of Ammatoa Kajang Customary Area in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi Province. The program will deliver this objective and will have these four outcomes
Outcome 1. Reduced climate change vulnerability
The Syrian Arab Republic is highly vulnerable to the effects of global warming and climate change in its various dimensions. This is manifested in various climatic phenomena, but alarming are the increasing temperatures and droughts, already in the short term, and projected reduction of precipitation, mainly in
