Benin is actually not suffering from an acute water deficit, but the provision of the population with hygienically safe drinking water is inadequate. The Ouémé region is characterised by a high population growth, enhanced by migration, and consequently rapid changes in land use. The situation is further aggravated by a pronounced decrease of rainfalls with increasing variability.
On the basis of this information and in close cooperation with stakeholders, scenarios are defined for the project region. These scenarios form the basis for modelling and projections until 2025 within 19 problem clusters. Thematically the problem clusters are grouped into the subject areas Food Security, Hydrology, Land Use and Society & Health.
