- Description
- The complexity of current water resource management poses many challenges. Wa-ter managers must solve a range of interrelated dilemmas – such as balancing quan-tity and quality, mitigating the effects of flooding and drought, and maintaining bio-diversity, ecological functions, and services. Sustainable water resource manage-ment, planning, and development requires reliable quantification of the amount, distribution, and quality of water within river basins. With the demand for water resources rapidly growing across the globe, there is also an urgent need for accu-rate monitoring, forecasting and simulation of hydrologic variables – especially in major (often transboundary) river basins such as the Limpopo – not only for optimal water resources management but more compellingly, also for water security, food security, power generation, and economic development. However, the available data are frequently far from sufficient – in terms of availability, accuracy, and spa-tial/temporal resolution – for the understanding of both natural and anthropogenic processes (and their complex linkages) in a river basin. Such challenges also make it very difficult to use the data for the practical application of estimation of water resources availability.
