Abstract
Scientists focusing on climate change in east Africa are interrogating climate models to provide more reliable information for decision-makers. Their burning questions include:
• How will aspects of climate that are relevant to decision-makers change? Will heavy rain and droughts increase? Will the region get wetter or drier in future?
• How will climate change impact on above- and below-ground water flow, the water levels of Lake Victoria, and underground water storage?
• What are the implications for rural livelihoods, including those dependent on rain-fed agriculture and fishing? And what are the policy and governance considerations within these sectors?
• How can cities design the most resilient water, sanitation and hygiene systems, in light of future climate change predictions?
