Synopsis (short abstract) Urbanization data is essential in understanding livelihoods, food security, population characteristics and climatic sensitivity. Urbanization classes across the Agno river basin is obtained from the Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) to support the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, urbanization data is fundamental in understanding the potential pollution sources across the river basin.

    Land cover data is vital in understanding livelihoods, food security and both exposure and sensitivity to climatic risks. It was obtained from the ESA Worldcover (2021) as a technical support to the GEF-8 Clean and Healthy Oceans Integrated Programme (IP). The overarching aim of the IP is to mitigate coastal pollution from agricultural, industrial, and municipal sources. Therefore, land cover data is crucial in understanding potential sources of pollution across the river basin.

    Water accounting in the Nile River Basin

    This report describes the water accounting study for the Nile River Basin carried out by IHE-Delft using the Water Productivity (WaPOR) data portal of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO). The Nile River Basin faces a huge challenge in terms of water security. With an expected doubling of the population in the basin in the next twenty-five years, water supply in the basin will be further depleted as demands for agriculture, domestic and industry continues to grow. Water availability in the basin will also be threatened by climate change and variability and pollution from increased agricultural and industrial activities and from urban areas. However with limited up-to-date ground observations, in terms of duration, completeness, and quality of the hydro-meteorological records it is difficult to draw an appropriate picture of the water resources conditions. The Water Accounting Plus (WA+) system designed by IHE Delft with its partners FAO and IWMI has been applied to gain full insights into the state of the water resources in the basin.
