To review water balance about Lake Malawi and introduce climate change modelling into the water balance model to assess the likely future behavior of the lake
Sustainable water resources development of Malawi needed a thorough assessment of the impact of climate change on the future water levels of Lake Malawi, especially considering the lake, together with its outflowing Shire river water system, are Malawi's most important water resource for hydropower generation, water supply for industrial and domestic use in the city of Blantyre and its surrounding urban areas together with irrigation water in the Lower Shire Valley (LSV). Any changes in the hydrological or ecological behaviour of the lake are considered to have far reaching consequences on the economy of Malawi.
Data contains information on the location of lake Nyasa and Shire river, net water storage, water balance model and the lake's sensitivity .
This dataset was collected through review of previous literature.
