Climate change is having increasing impacts on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) worldwide, rendering health-friendly behaviours less achievable in low-resource settings, disrupting WASH service provision, and reversing global progress on improving WASH infrastructure and controlling waterborne diseases. Much of these impacts are mediated through climate-driven changes in rainfall, which lead to both intensified and lengthier droughts, alongside heavier bouts of rain, and more frequent storms and extreme weather events. The impacts of both extreme and minimal rainfall on water quality and access and on sanitation and hygiene maintenance are myriad and have gained increased attention owing to a growing body of literature presenting important social, health, and environmental consequences. In recent years, a rising number of actors have pointed to the need for climate adaptation to be mainstreamed into the WASH sector, to ensure that WASH services, technologies, practices, and infrastructures are maximally resilient to the impending impacts of climate-driven rainfall changes. In the Lake Victoria Basin (LVB), which encompasses parts of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi, both WASH and, more recently, climate change have been placed relatively high on the agenda of development bodies. A history of WASH progress in this region has notably reduced waterborne disease incidence, but ongoing threats still produce significant morbidity and mortality burdens. Meanwhile, the region is highly vulnerable to climate change due to a combination of geographic, hydrological, and socioeconomic factors. Not surprisingly, East African governments have had to devote increased attention to climate adaptation goal-setting, as the impacts of climate change on the region become more pressing and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change pushes for regular submission of National Adaptation Plans and National Adaptation Programmes of Action. Given the importance of both climate adaptation and WASH in the LVB context, and the growing impetus for climate-WASH integration, this study sought to assess the progress thus far achieved in integrating WASH and climate adaptation agendas in the LVB, and outstanding barriers to progress. A secondary objective was to better understand how lakeside communities are adapting their own WASH behaviours and practices in response to the new threats posed by climate change-driven changes in rainfall, so that any positive adaptations could be documented, and associated innovations later tapped in regional climate adaptation planning efforts. Through a collaboration with a community-based organization in Western Kenya named Kar Geno- Center for Hope, a quantitative WASH practice survey was conducted, followed by 17 qualitative interviews and 17 focus groups with community members residing in the lakeside village of Mabinju, located in Siaya County. Collaborations were additionally forged with a network of organizations working on WASH and/or climate adaptation in the wider LVB region, from which knowledgeable stakeholders were interviewed. Interviews and focus groups, which were conducted in Luo but translated into English, were recorded and transcribed, and a qualitative thematic content analysis was conducted on all transcripts. This involved inductive coding using Dedoose qualitative data analysis software and a grounded theory analysis framework. The results of the study affirmed the cross-cutting impacts that climate change is having on WASH in the region, at both community and governance levels, and illuminated how it has interacted with other environmental threats to accelerate longstanding trends of environmental degradation and socioeconomic vulnerability. The responses of community members in Mabinju to these impacts were found to be wide in scope, and included both positive and maladaptive behaviour changes. On an institutional level, sectoral siloes and a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration, among other factors related to funding and international priorities, were found to restrain full climate-WASH integration in the region, despite evidence of early progress. Attention paid to sanitation was also found to be notably lacking, paralleling a global trend of disproportionate focus on water within the broader climate adaptation agenda. These findings hold implications for regional climate adaptation planning efforts, and offer global lessons on how governance structures can be made more conducive to climate-WASH integration and on how community knowledge, insights, and innovation potential can be better tapped in the development of novel climate resiliency promoting measures in the WASH sector.

The focus of this book is on the key water-related vulnerabilities to climate change in Africa, particularly in its most vulnerable areas, exploring potential management responses to such vulnerabilities. The African countries are particularly exposed and vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change, with important impacts on water resources and hydrological systems, water availability, water resource management and sea level variations. Already, under various anthropogenic pressures, the status of water resources in Africa has been changing over the past decades, with decreasing water quality, falling groundwater levels, and variability in rainfall, both in terms of timing and intensity. Climate change will further accelerate the rate of change, affecting the ability of people and societies to respond in a timely manner. It is clear that there is no quick fix to the pressures imposed on water resources by climate change. Increasing the resilience of ecosystems and communities to extreme events such as flooding and drought, and integrating climate change risks and opportunities into development decision-making is indeed a key challenge, as much a technical climate-change one, as a political and developmental challenge. The book, in this regard, intends to contribute to the debate around climate change in relation to water resources management in Africa, and in particular inform policy decisions and actions that will improve governments’ and communities’ ability to manage the challenges of climate change and variability in relation to the aquatic ecosystems that they depend on. The knowledge collected in this book will benefit policy makers, researchers, as well as other stakeholders.

This book constitutes a pioneering and unique work on Lake Victoria. It is the world’s second largest fresh-water lake and supports the livelihood of more than 30 million people. Surprisingly, there has been no comprehensive book addressing its problems and potentials. Ecology, environmental pollution and resource management are some of the issues addressed by this comprehensive insight into the limitations, challenges and opportunities facing Lake Victoria.

The 2020 edition of the WWDR, titled 'Water and Climate Change' illustrates the critical linkages between water and climate change in the context of the broader sustainable development agenda. Supported by examples from across the world, it describes both the challenges and opportunities created by climate change, and provides potential responses - in terms of adaptation, mitigation and improved resilience - that can be undertaken by enhancing water resources management, attenuating water-related risks, and improving access to water supply and sanitation services for all in a sustainable manner. It addresses the interrelations between water, people, environment and economics in a changing climate, demonstrating how climate change can be a positive catalyst for improved water management, governance and financing to achieve a sustainable and prosperous world for all. The report provides a fact-based, water-focused contribution to the knowledge base on climate change. It is complementary to existing scientific assessments and designed to support international political frameworks, with the goals of helping the water community tackle the challenges of climate change, and informing the climate change community about the opportunities that improved water management offers in terms of adaptation and mitigation.
