Changing Hydro-climatic Regimes And Planning Tools For Climate Resilient Pathways

Loading Session...

To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:

Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.

By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

Climate change and its impact on water resources has brought serious concerns across the globe. Since 20^th century, there is an overall increase in surface temperature by about 1◦C with some local areas experiencing an increase of up to 3◦C minimum temperature while rainfall trends indicated varying inconsistencies in both spatial and temporal scales. Changes in a rainfall patterns and intensity as well as gradual increase in temperature has caused changes on hydrological processes. Areas such as the Eastern and Southern African regions are the most vulnerable to climatic changes due to their low adaptive capability, high reliance on natural resources and underdeveloped agricultural production systems. These regions already experience floods, droughts and diseases causing fatalities, significant relocation of population and economic losses.

It is projected by 2050, that climate change will significantly impact macroeconomy of Eastern and Southern African countries, with a loss of 5–15% of GDP. Since the effects of climate change on water resources are not well known and varies from one region to another, it necessitates research to be done at local scales. Given the current hydro-climatic changes taking place, there is a need for efficient and effective water management based on an accurate assessment of the available water resources. This theme focuses on how best to utilize existing data and how newer technologies, such as remote sensing, local knowledge systems, and big data, can improve assessment of both surface and groundwater, including transboundary water resources. This has a pivotal role in contributing to the global agenda of sustainable development. By working together, we embrace and strengthen partnerships and adoption of multidisciplinary approaches for sustainable solutions in the water-climate space.

The papers in this sub-theme focus on addressing issues related to enhancing efficient and effective assessment of water resources, planning and management of surface and groundwater resources, and the impact of climate change on water resources and agricultural production using appropriate models or tools.
