With two-thirds of Africa’s feasible hydropower potential waiting to be tapped, the growing demand for power must be weighed against water scarcity — and the need for water resources to be managed sustainably is paramount.
Against this backdrop, the International Water Stewardship Programme (IWaSP) regional conference on Water Stewardship for Sustainable Hydropower shall bring together key hydropower players from concerned government agencies, private sector developers and operators, civil society and development partners. The event will provide the platform to explore how
stewardship approaches can address the pressing challenges and add value to existing models of hydropower development and operation.
