Water Resources Assessment of the Volta River Basin
Report Volta River Basin wise up
The WISE-UP to Climate Change project focuses on identifying optimal configurations of natural
and built infrastructure on landscapes within the Tana and Volta river basins. As part of the initial
project implementation there is a paramount need to identify, describe, and develop a baseline
of the biophysical characteristics and ecosystem services within each basin.
This document provides an overview of natural infrastructure and water resources in the
Volta River Basin. Understanding the variety and distribution of natural infrastructure and water
resources within the basin plays a critical role in developing appropriate land management and
water use strategies. The report is divided into five parts.
