African Dams Project (ADAPT)

Adapt planning and operation of large dams to social needs and environmental constraints - an integrated water resource management study in the Zambezi Basin.

This interdisciplinary project aims at investigating the effects of large dams on biogeochemical processes along the aquatic continuum from land to ocean; it will study international water policies in the region and develop assessment tools for water allocation in integrated river basin management. The project partners will engage in scientific capacity building in the Zambezi basin.
