7. More intense, less
frequent rainfall
events
Higher
temperatures
More frequent and
severe droughts
Accelerated upstream land
degradation and run-off
Change in time of
flowering of key crops
Sedimentation of reservoirs
reducing water available for
downstream irrigation
Compromised livelihoods of farm
and estate worker families, food
insecurity
Increasingly unsustainable land use
not adapted to changing climate
Land users
unable to adapt
to climate
change
Fragmented expertise and remits across
different government entities
Lack of fine scale understanding
of climate change impacts
No connection between land use in upstream
catchments and downstream water use
Locally appropriate information on climate
change, land and water management practices and
germplasm not available to farmers
Insufficient resources available to invest in land
restoration, protection and innovation
Farmers and other producers
often receiving low prices
Non-congruence of administrative and
hydrological boundaries
The Problem Complex
Land users
unable to adapt
to climate change
