Concluding remarks for coping with the water paradox in Africa

 

Water innovation for Africa

We’re coming to an end to my blog! We’ve explored the water paradox in Africa, in the form of understanding water scarcity, water stress and the reasoning behind why there is such an imbalance on the water distribution. Looking back, using the study case of Nigeria and Madagascar helped me get a better grasp of the internal and external challenges that are faced in order to improve water management. It is clear that the subject of environmental change is not enough to fully understand how to tackle the hydrological cycle in Africa, and can be extended to subjects such as governance, agriculture, economic development and many more. Furthermore, the final objective of discussing this subject involves being able to find sustainable solutions that would provide clean, affordable water. I believe this can be done with the adequate infrastructure, funds, and accurate mitigation strategies that is conform to what a physical environment truly needs. Hopefully, the agreements established at the COP27 will be a turning point in the development of places rich in potential but that do not have sufficient funds and are frequently slowed down by the consequences of environmental change. I hope that in the next conference, the next objective will be to address more the idea of decarbonization and reversing climate change, as this idea was not sufficiently stressed out in the latest gathering.

Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you’ve been learned, been inspired by it, or even just enjoyed it!

Introduction to the Water Paradox in Africa

     Hello and welcome to my blog! This blog will explore the water paradox in Africa through study cases of different countries, in relation to the constant environmental change we witness around us. Before I present you with different study cases showing extremes of the water paradox, we will explore the concepts and their impacts in Africa.     Water in Africa   When hearing about water in Africa, there is a consistent pre-conceived idea of this subject, which Is part of a greater idea of what Africa is. This is accurately highlighted in Binyavanga Wainaina's sarcastic work ‘ How to Write about Africa ,’ where the reader can easily recognize the author’s stereotypical words used of a generalised Africa associated with, poverty, tropical, against sustainable development and more importantly, ‘ hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving .’ Now, the first key point to understand water in Africa is to dismantle the idea o

Madagascar's Water Paradox

Land in Madagascar next to river bank in drought prone zone Among countries in Africa with complex water trends, Madagascar is a case that is useful to address. This is mainly due to Madagascar’s intensifying climate variability from environmental change, causing an increasing imbalance in precipitation across the island and rising extreme weather events such as flooding, cyclones and droughts. As you can see on Figure 1 , there is an important difference in climatic conditions depending on the region in Madagascar. On the Western and Southern parts, there is a higher mean annual temperature than the Eastern coast, as well as around 2000-3000 mm less annual precipitation in the Southern coast than the East. This gives rise to distinct weather occurrences depending on the region.   Figure 1: Mean Annual temperature and mean annual precipitation in Madagascar obtained from the WorldClim database Water scarcity The region most affected by the case of water scarcity would be Southern Ma

The influence of ENSO and IOD on water trends in Africa

Following the study cases I explored in the previous blog posts, I will discuss the influence of climate patterns on extreme weather events in Africa. The two events worth discussing are El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). ENSO has an influence around the Tropical Ocean, where El Niño tends to increase precipitation from warming the ocean surface, with La Nina cooling down the ocean surface and decreasing. Even though it is not geographically located next to Africa, previous studies have suggested that ENSO has influenced the amount of heavy rainfall in 1970-2000 in Eastern Africa, and it is generally considered to be a driver behind drought in Southern Africa through the inter-annual climate variability created in this region. Furthermore, ENSO has an influence on the Indian Ocean Dipole, directly involving Eastern Africa and surrounding areas of the Indian Ocean. Indian Ocean Dipole can be defined as the difference in sea surface temperature betw
