Abstract:: Climate change is one of the factors influencing water availability to society and ecosystems. Forest/wetland cover and anthropogenic water demand/use are other major factors. Adaptive strategies for water resource management are necessary at both the basin-level (e.g. Wami/Ruvu Basin Water Office) and at individual stakeholder levels (e.g. communities, large farms, and industries). This report examines the implications of climate change and forest cover change upon water availability, use, and demand in the Wami/Ruvu Basin that includes the catchment areas of the Wami, Ruvu, and coastal rivers around Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
