Grantee Description
Host institution: University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
Area of research: Hydrological modelling, applied remote sensing and GIS for resources management
Research focus: There is the need for continuous research on climate change especially at the national scale. It is already clear from literature that Ghana will be water stressed by 2020 irrespective of any adverse effects from climate change. With the nation’s economy heavily dependent on the Akosombo, Kpong and Bui Hydroelectric plants, it is imperative to research into the varying climatic conditions that affect water availability in these reservoirs. The accurate assessment of rainfall, temperature and evapotranspiration within the country are important indicators for showing the related water levels and associated impact on meeting energy demands in the country. The research assesses the impact of rainfall and evapotranspiration on energy generation hydropower generation in Ghana.
