Nile Basin Strategic Water Resources Analysis Workshops May/June 2022
The trade-off between irrigation versus hydropower is valid everywhere. It is less sensitive in water-rich countries and highly sensitive in regions with a dry climate. However, even water-rich countries can face a highly sensitive trade-off if consumptive demand reaches high water stress levels. Dr. Hubert Lohr Read more: Article on NBI website LinkedIn posts by […]

About 60% of global freshwater flows cross national boundaries and almost 50% of the globe’s land surface are transboundary river basins. Growing population and water demand in combination with climate change pose a risk of resource depletion leading to competition and conflicts between riparian countries. Transboundary water management is therefore one of the mounting issues […]
