| description |
The Africa energy unit (AFTEG) of the
World Bank has obtained financing from the trust fund for
environmentally and socially sustainable development
(TFESSD) funded by Finland and Norway for work towards
understanding the impact of climate change on hydropower:
the case of Cameroon. The development objective of this
activity is: (i) to develop tools for assessing climate
change impacts on the operation of hydraulic infrastructure
such as regulating dams and hydropower plants in the Sanaga
river basin, and (ii) to take steps towards an institutional
framework for climate resilient water resources management
in Cameroon. The aim of this initiative is to build
resilience to climate risks into water management in general
and hydropower development in Cameroon in particular. The
study includes three components: (i) develop suitable
climate change scenarios for the Sanaga basin, support the
electricity development corporation (EDC) of Cameroon to
develop a reliable hydrological model for the Sanaga river
basin, and derive climate change impacts on the potential
generation capacity in the Sanaga basin in the context of
changing hydrology; (ii) assess the impact of climate change
on the future operation of Lom Pangar dam and three other
regulating dams in the Sanaga basin and support the
establishment of an operational regime of hydraulic
infrastructures in the Sanaga river basin, in a consultative
manner with water users and taking into account equitable
sharing of resources between users and environmental flows;
and (iii) assess future impacts of climate change on water
resources availability and management in Cameroon. This
assessment also aims to provide an analytical base for
increased dialogue on climate variability and change and on
integrated management of water resources in Cameroon. The
assessment will identify information and knowledge gaps and
priorities for future studies and activities. |
