Basins

CPWF believes that when considering issues of water productivity, it makes sense to focus attention at the basin scale. Hence, CPWF has selected nine river basins as the focus of its research and development work located in developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

Africa

Asia

Latin America

Limpopo

Indo-Gangetic

Andean System

Nile

Karkheh

Sao Francisco

Volta

Mekong

These basins contain sufficient variety to represent most of the water and food challenges of developing countries. Large river basins have been specifically chosen so that impact achieved will affect a significant number of people, and the relevant processes at different levels can be applied elsewhere.

To test the applicability of technical and/or institutional solutions in different locations, however, CPWF encourages cross-basin projects.
