Multiscale water accounting under climate change in a transboundary West African basin [Abstract only] por Dembélé, Moctar, Salvadore, E., Zwart, Sander J., Ceperley, N., Mariethoz, G., Schaefli, B.

“…The basin-scale WA+ reporting is reinforced with a multi-scale summary of water accounts across spatial domains including four climatic zones, four sub-basins and the six riparian countries.The long-term multi-model ensemble mean of the net inflow to the basin is found to be 419 km3/year with an inter-annual variability of 11%, and is projected to slightly increase in the near-term future (2021-2050), due to the increase in rainfall, thereby highlighting the need for adaptation strategies to optimize the water-energy-food-ecosystem nexus in the VRB.…”
