Abstract
Water balances pertaining to the flux of water through the Volta River Basin and a black box model of the rainfall/runoff relationship for estimating the river flows into the Akosombo Reservoir are presented. As the water demand has approached supply, the tradeoffs between competing water uses are likely to intensify. It is also apparent from the balances that land use and land cover changes in the uplands of the basin are destined to play a pivotal role in determining the future of the basin. Im folgenden werden die sich auf den Abfluss beziehenden Wasserbilanzen des Volta Beckens, sowie ein Black Box Modell der Niederschlags-/Abflussrelation, um die Zuflüsse in den Akosombo Damm zu berechnen, vorgestellt. Mit der zunehmenden Angleichung des Wasserangebots an die Nachfrage ist es wahrscheinlich, dass sich der Austausch konkurrierender Wassernutzungen intensivieren wird. Aus den Wasserbilanzen wird offensichtlich, dass Landnutzungs- und Landbedeckungsänderungen in den höher gelegenen Gebieten des Beckens eine zentrale Rolle bei der zukünftigen Planung des Volta Beckens spielen werden.
