Zimbabwe’s climate change vulnerability is expected to be in terms of water shocks (floods and droughts). Water development projects have been seen as key in increasing the country’s storage capacity to supply current and future requirements. The projects will be used for different functions which include water supply, irrigation, hydropower generation and flood control. The Gwayi-Shangani, Marovanyati, Mutange Dams are some of the projects that the Government is working on. Upgrading of Water Supply Projects 20.13.
