Supporting commission(s) / organisations: Waternet, IAHS transversal, UNESCO-IHP

Under this topic WaterNet intends to show case work done by the network members from East and Southern Africa. The following aspects of water resources will be examined:

- Rainfall variability and droughts
- Climate change and water infrastructure development
- Hydrological responses, Human induced changes of variability and water resources management implications
- How ecological aspects are influenced by spatial variations of elements of the water cycle
- Water quality and hydrological implications
- Use of earth observation and in-situ measurements for understanding spatio-temporal variability
- Improving agricultural water use in order to manage variability
- Current and future water resources management interventions
- How policies, legislation and institutions have been and continue to be crafted to manage spatial and temporal variations of water resources
- How spatial-temporal variability influence transboundary water resources management
