The Volta River Basin (VRB) is an important transboundary basin in
West Africa that covers approximately 410,000 square kilometres
across six countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana,
Mali and Togo. Its natural resources sustain the livelihoods of its
population and contribute to economic development. This book
provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary review and assessment
of the issues and challenges faced. The authors provide a
science-based assessment of current and future scenarios of water
availability, the demands of key sectors, including agriculture and
hydropower, and the environment under changing demographic,
economic, social and climatic conditions. They also identify
solutions and strategies that will allow available water resources
to be sustainably used to improve agricultural productivity, food
security and economic growth in the VRB. Overall, the work examines
from a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder perspective the
solutions and strategies to improve the use of water and other
natural resources in the VRB to achieve enhanced food security,
livelihoods and economic growth.
