Water storage: a contribution to climate change adaptation in Africa

Water storage can help to safeguard livelihoods and reduce rural poverty.

some cases, may worsen the negative impacts of climate change. More systematic

planning is required to ensure suitable storage systems that support development

targets, as an international research project demonstrates.
