per year and average temperature of 17 °C, while the evaporation rate varies between
1,600 and 2,000 mm per year in the southwest to eastern parts, respectively.
Communities in the region are mostly poor and vulnerable to climate change
impacts with very low adaptive capacity.
6.1 Water Governance, Management, and Use
The agreement empowers the parties to individually and where appropriate jointly
develop technical or administrative measures to manage, control, and protect water
resources. Member states agreed to coordinate plans for water security and also
to exchange data and information. All these technical issues must also take sociopolitical aspects of each country into consideration.
Water use in the Maputo River Basin is estimated at 1,198 mm
3 /year, with
agriculture accounting for about 86% of total water use.
