In this paper published in Water MDPI, the authors aim to understand the impact of climate change on water resources of the Awash Basin, using three climate models from Coupled Models Inter-comparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) and for three future periods (2006–2030, 2031–2055, and 2056–2080).

Finding sustainable water futures in data-sparse regions under climate change: Insights from the Turkwel River basin, Kenya
Kenya’s Turkwel river basin experiences a high level of water scarcity due to its arid climate, high rainfall variability and rapidly growing water demand. In this paper, a novel decision-scaling approach was applied to model the response of the Turkwel river basin’s water resources system to growing demand and climate stressors.
The distributional and multi-sectoral impacts of rainfall shocks: Evidence from computable general equilibrium modelling for the Awash Basin, Ethiopia
In this paper published in Ecological Economics, the authors analyse the multi-sectoral and distributional economic impacts of rainfall shocks in the Awash river basin in Ethiopia.
Weather and climate knowledge for water security: Institutional roles and relationships in Turkana
In this working paper the authors discuss findings from a 2016 study of the institutions involved in water decision-making in Lodwar, focusing on their access to and use (or non-use) of weather and climate information.
Avoiding the water-poverty trap: Insights from a conceptual human water dynamical model for Coastal Bangladesh
In this study, the authors use water modelling to examine the dynamics between water related risks and poverty for an embanked area in coastal Bangladesh.
Water resources and extreme events in the Awash basin: economic effects and policy implications
This report explores the influence of water-related extreme events on economic production in Ethiopia’s Awash basin.
