Integrated water resources management plan for Densu River Basin, Ghana
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:10 authored by I. Asamoah, Sven Jacobi, Bob AlfaIntegrated water resources management is a comprehensive and coordinated approach to the development
and management of water, addressing its management as a resource and within the framework of providing
water services. Densu River Basin was selected as first priority basin to undergo integrated water resources
management activities in Ghana. Using a plan horizon up to year 2020, an assessment of water availability to
meet future water demand in the basin was carried out using a computer-based model for scenario analyses
of different water resource development choices and to establish their consequences. The scenarios analysed
included impact of climate change, improvement in water delivery system losses, inter-basin water transfer
and creation of a new storage facility in the upstream section of the river system.
