Project for improving water governance in the Volta basin : phase 1 completion report from July 2004 to September 2007

A series of dialogues organised by The Forests Dialogue (TFD) between 2009 and 2012 on investing in locally controlled forestry (ILCF) was designed to help catalyse investments in LCF by sharing learning between rights-holder groups and investors; improving mutual trust based on an agreed investment framework; and identifying practical ways forward.
This study, based on a colloquium, field assessments of development activities and technical analyses pertaining to barrier-built estuaries and lagoons, was inspired by the positive response to a preceding report captioned <a href=http://www.iucn.org/dbtw-wpd/edocs/2011-112.pdf> An Appraisal of Mangrove Management in Micro-target_idal Estuaries and Lagoons in Sri Lanka</a>.
This report documents the modelled scenarios of local climate variability due to global climatic change, using the projected climate changes to modify the no change, 76-year long, monthly sub-catchment rainfall sequences, and average monthly evaporation values that serve as input to the hydrological catchment model that has been configured and calibrated for the Pangani Basin.
This publication has been prepared as part of the Flow Assessment Component of the Pangani River Basin Management Project. Its aim is to collect and synthesize present knowledge on the Pangani River system and its users, and to help promote an integrated approach to future water-allocation decisions.

This report synthesises information from the Pangani River Basin Flow Assessment into a Final Project Report; and evaluates the extent to which the project has achieved its goals.
