ECOWAS region - Hydropower potential in Sub-catchment areas

This dataset shows subareas (sub-catchments) for West Africa and the estimated hydropower potential as well as several other interesting attributes for hydropower development and climate change projections and impact on hydropower potential.

The data-set is one of the outputs of a complete assessment of the hydro-power potential for all west African rivers implemented by ECREEE under the framework of the small hydropower program. For more information please visit http://www.ecowrex.org/smallhydro

You can visualize the data-set according to several attributes here http://www.ecowrex.org/mapView/
