Country assessments
Rwanda
Although Rwanda is endowed with abundant surface water, population growth, climate change and poverty are driving changes that are likely to both increase water scarcity and contribute to deteriorating water quality in the coming twenty to thirty years.
Senegal
The water tenure assessment in the Senegal River Basin focused on institutional and legal frameworks as well as customary water governance. Three field missions took place in the research areas in Podor and the Gorom-Lampsar axis in Saint-Louis.
Sri Lanka
The project area, the Malwathu Oya southern catchment, extends over 77 950 hectares. Agriculture – especially rice farming – is the predominant livelihoods of households. Sri Lanka currently experiences spatial and temporal water scarcities, and there is an increasing demand and competition for water resources.
