The Okavango
Case
•water use in Angola and Namibia is minimal! Then most of the water ends in Botswana where it is “used” for tourism.
•this is not going to remain so, there are development needs in the basin and all three will increase use for basic needs and for development
•expect demand for diversions (i.e. agriculture or inter basin transfers), storage (resulting changes in flow regimes) or even landuse change that can affect the quality and quantity of the flow regime
•There will be gains and losses. The TDA shows the gains will be upstream and the losses will be downstream.
