This research develops water demand (end-use) modelling and forecasting, and assesses water conservation and demand management potential for the city of Addis Ababa.
During the apartheid era, black Africans were separated from white populations, and in Cape Town moved to the Cape Flats area.
Rural-urban migrations have contributed to the steady increase in the population of Cape Town. Many of the migrants have settled in informal settlements because they cannot afford to rent or buy decent housing.
The research findings suggest that flood-related illnesses in Barcelona (an informal settlement area of Cape Town) result from different and interlinking factors.
Residents of informal settlements are particularly vulnerable to environmental hazards, as they lack proper infrastructure and homes are often built with inferior materials.
The Research to Policy for Adaptation (RPA) project has helped Climate Change Adaption in Africa (CCAA) and participatory action research (PAR) projects and partners to better understand the role research can play in understanding and engaging wit
