摘要

农业水资源管理至关重要,特别是在面临因气候变化多变性而加剧的水文挑战的地区。本研究探讨了加纳北部农业面临的水文挑战、机遇和未来发展方向。该地区面临着水资源短缺、降雨模式不稳定、土地退化、洪水和干旱等问题,这些问题严重影响了农业生产力和生计。本研究确定了该地区在水管理方面的重大差距,并强调了可持续农业增长的障碍和机遇。我们的分析强调,气候智能型水资源技术,如滴灌、雨水收集和水文建模,可以显著提高水资源利用效率和复原力。这些方法与参与式水治理、基础设施升级和可持续土地管理相结合,可以缓解水资源短缺、土壤侵蚀和气候风险。通过对文献的全面回顾和对水文数据的分析,本研究深入了解了加纳北部气候变化、水资源和农业之间复杂的相互作用。通过了解这些动态并实施适当的适应战略,利益相关者可以努力建设一个更具抵御力的农业部门,能够应对气候变化多变性带来的挑战。

Hydrological challenges and agricultural opportunities in Northern Ghana: addressing climate change impacts and future pathways
The management of water resources in agriculture is of paramount importance, especially in regions facing hydrological challenges exacerbated by climate change variability. This study explores the hydrological challenges, opportunities, and the way forward for agriculture in the Northern part of Ghana. The region faces issues such as water scarcity, erratic rainfall patterns, land degradation, floods, and droughts, which significantly impact agricultural productivity and livelihoods. This study identifies the region’s critical water management gaps and highlights both barriers and opportunities for sustainable agricultural growth. Our analysis emphasizes that climate-smart water technologies, such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and hydrological modeling, can significantly enhance water-use efficiency and resilience. Coupled with participatory water governance, infrastructure upgrades, and sustainable land management, these approaches can mitigate water scarcity, soil erosion, and climate risks. Through a comprehensive review of literature and analysis of hydrological data, this study provides insights into the complex interactions between climate change, water resources, and agriculture in Northern Ghana. By understanding these dynamics and implementing appropriate adaptation strategies, stakeholders can work towards building a more resilient agricultural sector capable of addressing the challenges posed by climate change variability.
