Integration in the Glowa Volta Project: from Concept to Feasibility

Integration in the GLOWA Volta project is a means to an end. The end is to establish a decision support system (DSS) for water management that is scientifically sound and can be readily used by decision makers in the region in order to optimize water allocation between regions and sectors. Economic, social and natural science issues will have to be brought into the analysis. The GLOWA Volta pro...

Modelling Riverflow in the Volta Basin of West Africa: a Data-driven Framework

The 400,000 km Volta Basin is an international basin covering almost 28% of the West Coast. Basin of Africa. It extends from longitude 5 30 W to 2 00E and from latitude 5 30 N to 14 30 N and is shared by the six West African countries Benin, Togo, Ghana, La Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Mali. The water resources of this basin are under severe stress due to both human and natural causes. High ...

Intercomparison of Evapotranspiration Over the Savannah Volta Basin in West Africa Using Remote Sensing Data

This paper compares evapotranspiration estimates from two complementary satellite sensors - NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ESA's ENVISAT Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) over the savannah area of the Volta basin in West Africa. This was achieved through solving for evapotranspiration on the basis of the regional energy balance equation, which wa...
