WECOAdapt: Water management through ECOhydrology for climate change ADAPTation in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania
WECOAdapt is exploring the relationship between urban development, water and the ecosystem in Tanzania. It will enhance the resilience of communities vulnerable to climatic and anthropogenic stress. WECOAdapt focuses on reducing and preventing the negative impacts of floods and droughts and of unsustainable urban development. It will work on reversing the degradation of water and land resources and the decline in biodiversity.
