Orange–Senqu River Basin Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis

This comprehensive document consolidates the findings and recommendations of the Preliminary Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis of the Orange–Senqu River Basin (2008). It provides a wealth of information on the river basin, including information from more recent studies on water balance, sediment loads, water quality, climate change, environmental flow requirements and irrigated agriculture, amongst others. In addition, it provides causal chain analyses of the major transboundary environmental problems, which were prioritised, revised and validated by recognised experts from each of the basin states.
