21 CONCLUSIONS The Volta River Basin has experienced a statistically significant increase of about 1.6 o C (about.35 o C/decade) in the mean temperature from 1961 to 25. The rate of warming was faster in the region of Lake Volta, compared to the upstream catchment areas. The warming is projected to exacerbate by the end of the 21 st century, with projected increases of 1.4 o C to 2.5 o C and 2.2 o C to 3.2 o C for , relative to , for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. The basin has experienced significant reduction (average of 5 mm per year) in annual rainfall in the period, the Lake region experienced a higher reduction compared to the upstream areas. In recent times, from 1981 to date, the rainfall has been on recovery even though not yet at the levels of the 196s. There is high variability and uncertainty regarding the trend of future rainfall over the basin. Model projections indicate a change of -23% to +2%, with a mean of about +2% for the two RCPs.
