Beyond Metrics to Diagnosis
• identify & quantify unmanaged risks & unexploited opportunities relating to water
Systematic approach
• identify & prioritize investments to enhance water security
Strategic framework
• promote balanced, sequenced investments in water information systems, institutions & infrastructure
Evidence base
• Benchmarks, comparisons & information Advocacy and
awareness raising
A dynamic goal in a changing context
Water security is a goal. IWRM is a process to get there
A dynamic goal that changes with:
• Climate
• Economic opportunities & risks
• Demographics
• Ecosystem health
• Social, cultural, aesthetic priorities
Need to anticipate change & build resilience
Diagnostic Framework
• Provides a structured process to answer three strategic questions:
1. To what extent are water resources being managed efficiently and sustainably?
2. To what extent are water services being delivered reliably, affordably and inclusively?
3. To what extent are water-related risks been recognized and mitigated?
• In terms of the outcomes for people, the economy and the environment
The capital that supports water security: institutional & human capital, financial & infrastructure capital, and the natural resources capital
Water security outcomes: unmanaged risks and unexploited opportunities for people, the economy and the environment
Management of Water Resources
Delivery of Water Services
Mitigation of Water-related
Risks
The actions of
water security
Mapping to SDGs
Other Diagnostics?
• Ostrom (2007) A diagnostic approach for going beyond panaceas. PNAS 104 (39)
• Focused on complex social-ecological systems
• Organizes key variables in a nested, multitier framework
• Recognizes limitations of simple predictive models / solutions
• As these are seldom useful for complex, multivariable, nonlinear, dynamic systems
Objectives • Impacts of water insecurity on
people, economy & environment • Water security challenges • Water security opportunities
Focus • Determine the scale & scope • Provide context • Compile outcome indicators • Consider status & trends • Hypothesize drivers
Outputs • PowerPoint • Short report • Info-graphic
Initial Rapid Assessment
Environmental Status

Water reused to supply industries
Reliability of water supply for vital parts of economy
(irrigation for agriculture)
Energy efficiency of water extraction and distribution
(wells, pipelines, pumps, etc.)
Connectedness of economic sectors (agricultural
production vs. import).
Dynamic commerical and
corprorate farming sector.
Gov't supporting land
tenure conversions to titled
land.
Although Agriculture accounts for
17% of the economy, 60% of
manufacturing relies on it.
Transport, services,
communication, and storage
served the agriculture sector to
some degree - accounting for 23%
of economy.

Small Water Bodies - regulate and
maintain steady supply of water
to the farmland. Of 12,430 dams
in southern Africa (excluding SA),
10,747 are in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe makes up < 7% of
surface area of southern Africa,

Economic vulnerability to hydrometerological disasters
During 1991-1992, yearly rains
were 46% below normal; real
GDP growth fell by 9%. Only
3.7% of SWBs completely dried
up.
2007 Richardson 2007
Population affected by hydrometerological disasters
Property rights/land reform/changes
70% is not irrigated, but growing.
>50% growth in irrigated land
since 2008. Potential for 75000
additional hectares of irrigated
land ($USD 30 million).
Impact on land reforms starting
in 2000 has had devasating
effects on the commercial farm
system. Gov't nationalized land
and irrigation pipes are dug up
and sold for scrap. No clear
ownership.
2014, 2007 FAO 2007, Richardson 2007
Transboundary dependence
Flood frequency
Geographic distribution of gains in the economy
Annual rainfall in the ZRB is quite high, but it distributed very unevenly across the basin. The southern and western parts receive much
less rainfall than the northern and eastern parts.
Most of the water lost is from evaporation from hydroelectric reservoirs

Most of the streamflow in the ZRB occurs in the single wet season - up to 90%. Rainfall is often erratic, unreliable, and subject to frequent
multiyear low rainfall cycles. Tributaries experience low or no streamflow in the dry season, when irrigation demand is highest.
Extensive riverine wetlands and floodplain areas have high economic and social value for agriculture, fisheries, wildlife, and tourism.
Current Consumptive Water use in the ZRB is estimated at atound 15-20% of total runoff.
Flood control (in lower Zambezi in particular) requires cooperation with upstream riparians including timely exchange of data, improved
flood forecasting, conservation of natural flood plain areas, and adjustments to how reservoirs are operated to mitigate damage.
ZAMCOM - Prepare rules for implementing provisions, determine environmental flow requirements in the main river network, prepare a
basin development plan and strategy that integrates development mplans and aspirations of the member countries including irrigation,
and supports the strengthening of IWRM by growing knowledge base, sharing a DSS and expertise.
3% across the basin
3.6% across the basin
Increasing. Reasons for increasing the area irrigated in the Zambezi Basin: Overcoming high hydrologic risk, Increased productivity,
Improved food security, Poverty reduction
Development plans of the riparian countries suggests that consumptive water use might increase up to 40% of total runoff by 2025.
Drought prone areas are likely to be more vulnerable to climate change than more humid areas. 90% probability that extent of drought
prone areas will increase.

Southern Africa is one of five regions worldwide exposed to serious risk of flooding in coastal and delta areas. Water scarcity is also
intesified through disrupted rainfall pattersn, increased ET loss, and increased water demand in all sectors. Sea level rise represents a
threat to the region - saltwater intrusion.
In 2001-2002, countries in Southern Africa experienced a food deficit of about 1.2 million tones of cereals. CC is expected to have an
adverse effect on agricultural production. Net productivity reductions of more than 10% are possible for maize, millet, sugar cane, wheat.
The 1983 and 1992 droughts cost Zimbabwe 3% and 8% of its GDP (respectively). 1992 drought in Zambia cost $USD 300 million and
resulted in a 39% reduction in agricultural output and 2.8% decline in GDP.
