About the Cover

Hydropower generation is tributary by inflows of reservoir. Changes in inflows can result lead to changes in hydropower generation. In Côte d’Ivoire, energy production is largely due to hydropower dam and so the climate change is a challenge for the entire hydropower sector. This work aims to assess future climatic variability and its impacts on reservoir inflows of Kossou Dam. Historical climate data from 10 stations were used. The future climate data were produced by CLMcom-CCLM4.8 using the boundary conditions of three GCMs (CNRM-CERFACS-CNRM; ICHEC-EC-EARTH; MPI-M-MPI-ESM-LR). Simulation results for future climate under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios indicate that the annual temperature may increase around 5% and the rainfall may decrease by 15 to 25 % in the future. Under RCP scenario, the inflows of Kossou dam may increase according ICHEC and MPI projections. On the other side, the CNRM indicated indicates a decrease.

Climate Change & Water Quality

Assessment of seasonal variation of Nsukka phreatic aquifer groundwater quality

Chidozie Charles Nnaji, Kenneth Onuigbo, John Precious Nnam

The high dependence on groundwater supply by the residents of developing countries and low-income cities expose them to various diseases as a result of the toxic substances in the water they drink. Groundwater contamination quality depends on recharge water quality, atmospheric precipitation, inland surface water and sub-surface geochemical processes.

Climate Change & Adaptation/Mitigation

Climate change adaptation practices to water sector in South-Western coastal area of Bangladesh

Md. Humayain Kabir, Mohammed Abdul Baten

Climate scientists, environmentalists, climate negotiators and policy makers around the world have recognized that Bangladesh is the worst victim of climate change. In Bangladesh, South Western coastal area is the most vulnerable due to its geo-morphological characteristics.
