  • African Dams Briefing 2010
    African Dams Briefing 2010 Dams are often the largest water and energy investments in Africa. Yet, African citizens rarely have access to critical information about these projects. Citizens have the right to hold their governments accountable for decisions they make and the use of public funds. The African Dams Briefing 2010 is intended to assist African and international civil society in holding their government officials accountable by providing greater transparency about dam projects, project decision-making, and companies and donors involved in specific dams. Every large dam poses economic, social, and environmental impacts. Dams can increase a country's debt burden, displace whole communities, destroy livelihoods, alter ecosystems, and increase disease. Dams can also fall far short of achieving their purpose, especially in a warming world. Climate change and increasingly erratic rainfall can reduce energy and water benefits from dams and increase risks of deadly floods. Today, billions of development dollars are earmarked for large dams and associated project infrastructure in Africa. Lucrative construction, power purchase and investment contracts can drive bribery and other corrupt business practices. The lack of transparency and limited legal enforcement to halt these practices allow shady deals to go forward. Funds required by dam projects can also eliminate alternatives that could foster good governance, community participation and decentralized service delivery. This document is meant to provide a basic synopsis of large dams in Africa that have a status of Proposed, Under Construction, Rehabilitation, or Expansion. Dams that have become operational since the last update (2006) are noted as In Operation. Research is conducted by staff, interns and volunteers primarily through news searches on the internet.

    Published by Statistics Botswana Private Bag 0024, Gaborone Phone: 3671300 Email: [email protected] Copyright Reserved © 2013 Extracts may be published if Sources are duly acknowledged PREFACE Statistics Botswana through the Environment Statistics Unit presents the third edition of Botswana’s Environment Statistics Report. The report includes the latest available statistics and trends analysis in climate, land, water, wildlife, forests, natural disasters, mining and agriculture. Data used in this report are secondary and were drawn from various departments and organisations. Like its predecessors, the Framework for Development of Environmental Statistics (FDES) developed by the United Nations Statistical Division was used in preparing this report. The indicators developed in this report would be useful to measure progress towards sustainable development and to entrench environmental sustainability in development programmes and projects. Needless to say, new threats to the environment caused by climate change, call for action which must be well-informed by facts and figures. Last but not least, I would like to thank all data providers that worked cooperatively with the Environment Statistics Unit in the production of this report, and encourage their continued support as we strive to contribute to an environmentally friendly development path. Thank you. Anna Majelantle Statistician General September 2013 TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 1. CLIMATE 3 1.1 Rainfall 6 1.2 Temperature 12 1.3 Effects of Climate 14 2.
